What is 108 percent of 5270 - 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 5270 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 5270 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5270=100%.
4. We know, that x is 108% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=108%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5270=100%
2) x=108%
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:
5270/x=100%/108%
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 108% of 5270

5270/x=100/108
(5270/x)*x=(100/108)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5270=0.92592592592593*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.92592592592593) to get x
5270/0.92592592592593=x
5691.6=x
x=5691.6

now we have:
108% of 5270=5691.6
