- We assume, that the number 96 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
- We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
- If 100% equals 96, so we can write it down as 100%=96.
- We know, that x% equals 17.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.76.
- Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=96
2) x%=17.76
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:
100%/x%=96/17.76
- Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
- Solution for 17.76 is what percent of 96
100%/x%=96/17.76
(100/x)x=(96/17.76)x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.40540540541*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.40540540541) to get x
100/5.40540540541=x
18.5=x
x=18.5
now we have:
17.76 is 18.5% of 96
