What is 21.77 percent of 50 - 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 50 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 50 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.77% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.77%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 50=100%
2) x=21.77%
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:
50/x=100%/21.77%
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 21.77% of 50

50/x=100/21.77
(50/x)*x=(100/21.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
50=4.5934772622876*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5934772622876) to get x
50/4.5934772622876=x
10.885=x
x=10.885

now we have:
21.77% of 50=10.885
