What is 10.31 percent of 273.65 - 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 273.65 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 273.65 is 100%, so we can write it down as 273.65=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 273.65=100%
2) x=10.31%
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:
273.65/x=100%/10.31%
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 10.31% of 273.65

273.65/x=100/10.31
(273.65/x)*x=(100/10.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
273.65=9.6993210475267*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.6993210475267) to get x
273.65/9.6993210475267=x
28.213315=x
x=28.213315

now we have:
10.31% of 273.65=28.213315
