Question

How do I multiply 110.2 times 17.7

Answer 1

1. We assume, that the number 110.2 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 110.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 110.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 110.2=100%
2) x=17.7%
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:
110.2/x=100%/17.7%
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 17.7% of 110.2

110.2/x=100/17.7
(110.2/x)*x=(100/17.7)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
110.2=5.64971751412*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.64971751412) to get x
110.2/5.64971751412=x
19.5054=x
x=19.5054

now we have:
17.7% of 110.2=19.5054
