What is 10.35 percent of 279.48 - 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 279.48 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 279.48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 279.48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 279.48=100%
2) x=10.35%
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:
279.48/x=100%/10.35%
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 10.35% of 279.48

279.48/x=100/10.35
(279.48/x)*x=(100/10.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
279.48=9.6618357487923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.6618357487923) to get x
279.48/9.6618357487923=x
28.92618=x
x=28.92618

now we have:
10.35% of 279.48=28.92618
