What is 9.125 percent of 27 - 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 27 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 27 is 100%, so we can write it down as 27=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.125% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.125%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 27=100%
2) x=9.125%
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:
27/x=100%/9.125%
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 9.125% of 27

27/x=100/9.125
(27/x)*x=(100/9.125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
27=10.958904109589*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.958904109589) to get x
27/10.958904109589=x
2.46375=x
x=2.46375

now we have:
9.125% of 27=2.46375
