What is 23.08 percent of 21700 - 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 21700 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 21700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.08% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.08%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21700=100%
2) x=23.08%
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:
21700/x=100%/23.08%
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 23.08% of 21700

21700/x=100/23.08
(21700/x)*x=(100/23.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21700=4.3327556325823*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3327556325823) to get x
21700/4.3327556325823=x
5008.36=x
x=5008.36

now we have:
23.08% of 21700=5008.36
