What is 79.73 percent of 20.7 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 20.7 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 20.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 79.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=79.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.7=100%
2) x=79.73%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
20.7/x=100%/79.73%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 79.73% of 20.7

20.7/x=100/79.73
(20.7/x)*x=(100/79.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.7=1.2542330364982*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2542330364982) to get x
20.7/1.2542330364982=x
16.50411=x
x=16.50411

now we have:
79.73% of 20.7=16.50411
