What is 28.38 percent of 71.1 - 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 71.1 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 71.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 71.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 71.1=100%
2) x=28.38%
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:
71.1/x=100%/28.38%
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 28.38% of 71.1

71.1/x=100/28.38
(71.1/x)*x=(100/28.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
71.1=3.523608174771*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.523608174771) to get x
71.1/3.523608174771=x
20.17818=x
x=20.17818

now we have:
28.38% of 71.1=20.17818
