What is 9.34 percent of 15500000 - 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 15500000 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 15500000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15500000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.34% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.34%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15500000=100%
2) x=9.34%
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:
15500000/x=100%/9.34%
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 9.34% of 15500000

15500000/x=100/9.34
(15500000/x)*x=(100/9.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15500000=10.706638115632*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.706638115632) to get x
15500000/10.706638115632=x
1447700=x
x=1447700

now we have:
9.34% of 15500000=1447700
