What is 28.56 percent of 28 - 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 28 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 28 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28=100%
2) x=28.56%
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:
28/x=100%/28.56%
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 28.56% of 28

28/x=100/28.56
(28/x)*x=(100/28.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28=3.5014005602241*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5014005602241) to get x
28/3.5014005602241=x
7.9968=x
x=7.9968

now we have:
28.56% of 28=7.9968
