What is 9.375 percent of 17.49 - 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 17.49 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 17.49 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.49=100%
2) x=9.375%
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:
17.49/x=100%/9.375%
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 9.375% of 17.49

17.49/x=100/9.375
(17.49/x)*x=(100/9.375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.49=10.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.666666666667) to get x
17.49/10.666666666667=x
1.6396875=x
x=1.6396875

now we have:
9.375% of 17.49=1.6396875
