What is 9.62 percent of 156462 - 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 156462 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 156462 is 100%, so we can write it down as 156462=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.62% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.62%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 156462=100%
2) x=9.62%
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:
156462/x=100%/9.62%
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 9.62% of 156462

156462/x=100/9.62
(156462/x)*x=(100/9.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
156462=10.39501039501*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.39501039501) to get x
156462/10.39501039501=x
15051.6444=x
x=15051.6444

now we have:
9.62% of 156462=15051.6444
