What is 13.21 percent of 5.97 - 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 5.97 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 5.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.97=100%
2) x=13.21%
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:
5.97/x=100%/13.21%
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 13.21% of 5.97

5.97/x=100/13.21
(5.97/x)*x=(100/13.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.97=7.5700227100681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5700227100681) to get x
5.97/7.5700227100681=x
0.788637=x
x=0.788637

now we have:
13.21% of 5.97=0.788637
