What is 10.73 percent of 27840 - 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 27840 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 27840 is 100%, so we can write it down as 27840=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 27840=100%
2) x=10.73%
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:
27840/x=100%/10.73%
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 10.73% of 27840

27840/x=100/10.73
(27840/x)*x=(100/10.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
27840=9.3196644920783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3196644920783) to get x
27840/9.3196644920783=x
2987.232=x
x=2987.232

now we have:
10.73% of 27840=2987.232
