What is 11.428571428571 percent of 525 - 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 525 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 525 is 100%, so we can write it down as 525=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.428571428571% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.428571428571%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 525=100%
2) x=11.428571428571%
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:
525/x=100%/11.428571428571%
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 11.428571428571% of 525

525/x=100/11.428571428571

525=8.7500000000003*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.7500000000003) to get x
525/8.7500000000003=x
59.999999999998=x
x=59.999999999998

now we have:
11.428571428571% of 525=59.999999999998
