What is 10.5 percent of 59.384 - 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 59.384 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 59.384 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59.384=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59.384=100%
2) x=10.5%
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:
59.384/x=100%/10.5%
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 10.5% of 59.384

59.384/x=100/10.5
(59.384/x)*x=(100/10.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59.384=9.5238095238095*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.5238095238095) to get x
59.384/9.5238095238095=x
6.23532=x
x=6.23532

now we have:
10.5% of 59.384=6.23532
