What is 9.18 percent of 178580 - 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 178580 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 178580 is 100%, so we can write it down as 178580=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 178580=100%
2) x=9.18%
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:
178580/x=100%/9.18%
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 9.18% of 178580

178580/x=100/9.18
(178580/x)*x=(100/9.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
178580=10.893246187364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.893246187364) to get x
178580/10.893246187364=x
16393.644=x
x=16393.644

now we have:
9.18% of 178580=16393.644
