What is 97.24 percent of 15.0221 - 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 15.0221 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 15.0221 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.0221=100%.
4. We know, that x is 97.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=97.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.0221=100%
2) x=97.24%
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:
15.0221/x=100%/97.24%
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 97.24% of 15.0221

15.0221/x=100/97.24
(15.0221/x)*x=(100/97.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.0221=1.0283833813246*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0283833813246) to get x
15.0221/1.0283833813246=x
14.60749004=x
x=14.60749004

now we have:
97.24% of 15.0221=14.60749004
