What is 8.5625 percent of 196 - 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 196 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 196 is 100%, so we can write it down as 196=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.5625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.5625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 196=100%
2) x=8.5625%
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:
196/x=100%/8.5625%
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 8.5625% of 196

196/x=100/8.5625
(196/x)*x=(100/8.5625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
196=11.678832116788*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.678832116788) to get x
196/11.678832116788=x
16.7825=x
x=16.7825

now we have:
8.5625% of 196=16.7825
