What is 17.54 percent of 59.34 - 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 59.34 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 59.34 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59.34=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.54% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.54%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59.34=100%
2) x=17.54%
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:
59.34/x=100%/17.54%
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 17.54% of 59.34

59.34/x=100/17.54
(59.34/x)*x=(100/17.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59.34=5.7012542759407*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7012542759407) to get x
59.34/5.7012542759407=x
10.408236=x
x=10.408236

now we have:
17.54% of 59.34=10.408236
