What is 9.73 percent of 237 - 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 237 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 237 is 100%, so we can write it down as 237=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 237=100%
2) x=9.73%
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:
237/x=100%/9.73%
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 9.73% of 237

237/x=100/9.73
(237/x)*x=(100/9.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
237=10.277492291881*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.277492291881) to get x
237/10.277492291881=x
23.0601=x
x=23.0601

now we have:
9.73% of 237=23.0601
