What is 9.47 percent of 27.42 - 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 27.42 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 27.42 is 100%, so we can write it down as 27.42=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 27.42=100%
2) x=9.47%
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:
27.42/x=100%/9.47%
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 9.47% of 27.42

27.42/x=100/9.47
(27.42/x)*x=(100/9.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
27.42=10.559662090813*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.559662090813) to get x
27.42/10.559662090813=x
2.596674=x
x=2.596674

now we have:
9.47% of 27.42=2.596674
