What is 21.68 percent of 500000 - 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 500000 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 500000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 500000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 500000=100%
2) x=21.68%
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:
500000/x=100%/21.68%
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 21.68% of 500000

500000/x=100/21.68
(500000/x)*x=(100/21.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
500000=4.6125461254613*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6125461254613) to get x
500000/4.6125461254613=x
108400=x
x=108400

now we have:
21.68% of 500000=108400
