What is 28.09 percent of 80 - 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 80 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 80 is 100%, so we can write it down as 80=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.09% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.09%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 80=100%
2) x=28.09%
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:
80/x=100%/28.09%
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 28.09% of 80

80/x=100/28.09
(80/x)*x=(100/28.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
80=3.559985760057*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.559985760057) to get x
80/3.559985760057=x
22.472=x
x=22.472

now we have:
28.09% of 80=22.472
