What is 28.17 percent of 55.519 - 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 55.519 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 55.519 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55.519=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55.519=100%
2) x=28.17%
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:
55.519/x=100%/28.17%
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 28.17% of 55.519

55.519/x=100/28.17
(55.519/x)*x=(100/28.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55.519=3.5498757543486*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5498757543486) to get x
55.519/3.5498757543486=x
15.6397023=x
x=15.6397023

now we have:
