What is 9.68 percent of 185 - 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 185 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 185 is 100%, so we can write it down as 185=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 185=100%
2) x=9.68%
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:
185/x=100%/9.68%
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 9.68% of 185

185/x=100/9.68
(185/x)*x=(100/9.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
185=10.330578512397*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.330578512397) to get x
185/10.330578512397=x
17.908=x
x=17.908

now we have:
9.68% of 185=17.908
