What is 8.625 percent of 1900 - 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 1900 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 1900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1900=100%
2) x=8.625%
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:
1900/x=100%/8.625%
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 8.625% of 1900

1900/x=100/8.625
(1900/x)*x=(100/8.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1900=11.594202898551*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.594202898551) to get x
1900/11.594202898551=x
163.875=x
x=163.875

now we have:
8.625% of 1900=163.875
