What is 25.71 percent of 5.756 - 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 5.756 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 5.756 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.756=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.756=100%
2) x=25.71%
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:
5.756/x=100%/25.71%
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 25.71% of 5.756

5.756/x=100/25.71
(5.756/x)*x=(100/25.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.756=3.8895371450797*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8895371450797) to get x
5.756/3.8895371450797=x
1.4798676=x
x=1.4798676

now we have:
25.71% of 5.756=1.4798676
