What is 10.6317 percent of 5140 - 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 5140 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 5140 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5140=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.6317% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.6317%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5140=100%
2) x=10.6317%
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:
5140/x=100%/10.6317%
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 10.6317% of 5140

5140/x=100/10.6317
(5140/x)*x=(100/10.6317)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5140=9.4058334979354*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.4058334979354) to get x
5140/9.4058334979354=x
546.46938=x
x=546.46938

now we have:
10.6317% of 5140=546.46938
