What is 10.72 percent of 59.15 - 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 59.15 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 59.15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59.15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59.15=100%
2) x=10.72%
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:
59.15/x=100%/10.72%
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 10.72% of 59.15

59.15/x=100/10.72
(59.15/x)*x=(100/10.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59.15=9.3283582089552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3283582089552) to get x
59.15/9.3283582089552=x
6.34088=x
x=6.34088

now we have:
10.72% of 59.15=6.34088
