What is 21.95 percent of 51.35 - 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 51.35 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 51.35 is 100%, so we can write it down as 51.35=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 51.35=100%
2) x=21.95%
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:
51.35/x=100%/21.95%
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 21.95% of 51.35

51.35/x=100/21.95
(51.35/x)*x=(100/21.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
51.35=4.5558086560364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5558086560364) to get x
51.35/4.5558086560364=x
11.271325=x
x=11.271325

now we have:
21.95% of 51.35=11.271325
