5.67 is what percent of 23.71 - 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 23.71 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 100% equals 23.71, so we can write it down as 100%=23.71.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.71
2) x%=5.67
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%=23.71/5.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.67 is what percent of 23.71

100%/x%=23.71/5.67
(100/x)*x=(23.71/5.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1816578483245*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1816578483245) to get x
100/4.1816578483245=x
23.913960354281=x
x=23.913960354281

now we have:
5.67 is 23.913960354281% of 23.71
