What is 89.94 percent of 15.1 - 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 15.1 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 15.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 89.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=89.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.1=100%
2) x=89.94%
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:
15.1/x=100%/89.94%
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 89.94% of 15.1

15.1/x=100/89.94
(15.1/x)*x=(100/89.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.1=1.1118523460085*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1118523460085) to get x
15.1/1.1118523460085=x
13.58094=x
x=13.58094

now we have:
89.94% of 15.1=13.58094
