What is 0.56 percent of 13.72 - 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 13.72 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 13.72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13.72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13.72=100%
2) x=0.56%
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:
13.72/x=100%/0.56%
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 0.56% of 13.72

13.72/x=100/0.56
(13.72/x)*x=(100/0.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13.72=178.57142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (178.57142857143) to get x
13.72/178.57142857143=x
0.076832=x
x=0.076832

now we have:
0.56% of 13.72=0.076832
