What is 28.5714285714 percent of 110 - 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 110 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 110 is 100%, so we can write it down as 110=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.5714285714% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.5714285714%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 110=100%
2) x=28.5714285714%
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:
110/x=100%/28.5714285714%
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 28.5714285714% of 110

110/x=100/28.5714285714
(110/x)*x=(100/28.5714285714)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
110=3.5000000000035*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5000000000035) to get x
110/3.5000000000035=x
31.42857142854=x
x=31.42857142854

now we have:
28.5714285714% of 110=31.42857142854
