What is 9.11 percent of 1597 - 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 1597 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 1597 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1597=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.11% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.11%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1597=100%
2) x=9.11%
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:
1597/x=100%/9.11%
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 9.11% of 1597

1597/x=100/9.11
(1597/x)*x=(100/9.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1597=10.976948408342*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.976948408342) to get x
1597/10.976948408342=x
145.4867=x
x=145.4867

now we have:
9.11% of 1597=145.4867
