What is 10.61 percent of 359 - 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 359 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 359 is 100%, so we can write it down as 359=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.61% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.61%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 359=100%
2) x=10.61%
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:
359/x=100%/10.61%
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 10.61% of 359

359/x=100/10.61
(359/x)*x=(100/10.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
359=9.4250706880302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.4250706880302) to get x
359/9.4250706880302=x
38.0899=x
x=38.0899

now we have:
10.61% of 359=38.0899
