What is 21.62 percent of 56.7 - 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 56.7 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 56.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 56.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.62% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.62%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 56.7=100%
2) x=21.62%
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:
56.7/x=100%/21.62%
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 21.62% of 56.7

56.7/x=100/21.62
(56.7/x)*x=(100/21.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
56.7=4.6253469010176*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6253469010176) to get x
56.7/4.6253469010176=x
12.25854=x
x=12.25854

now we have:
21.62% of 56.7=12.25854
