What is 17.6 percent of 62.4 - 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 62.4 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 62.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 62.4=100%
2) x=17.6%
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:
62.4/x=100%/17.6%
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 17.6% of 62.4

62.4/x=100/17.6
(62.4/x)*x=(100/17.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
62.4=5.68181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.68181818182) to get x
62.4/5.68181818182=x
10.9824=x
x=10.9824

now we have:
17.6% of 62.4=10.9824
