What is 9.66 percent of 176 - 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 176 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 176 is 100%, so we can write it down as 176=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.66% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.66%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 176=100%
2) x=9.66%
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:
176/x=100%/9.66%
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 9.66% of 176

176/x=100/9.66
(176/x)*x=(100/9.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
176=10.351966873706*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.351966873706) to get x
176/10.351966873706=x
17.0016=x
x=17.0016

now we have:
9.66% of 176=17.0016
