What is 10.78 percent of 62 - 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 62 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 62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 62=100%
2) x=10.78%
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:
62/x=100%/10.78%
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 10.78% of 62

62/x=100/10.78
(62/x)*x=(100/10.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
62=9.2764378478664*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.2764378478664) to get x
62/9.2764378478664=x
6.6836=x
x=6.6836

now we have:
10.78% of 62=6.6836
