What is 9.52 percent of 189 - 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 189 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 189 is 100%, so we can write it down as 189=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 189=100%
2) x=9.52%
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:
189/x=100%/9.52%
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 9.52% of 189

189/x=100/9.52
(189/x)*x=(100/9.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
189=10.504201680672*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.504201680672) to get x
189/10.504201680672=x
17.9928=x
x=17.9928

now we have:
9.52% of 189=17.9928
