What is 28.589 percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.589% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.589%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100=100%
2) x=28.589%
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:
100/x=100%/28.589%
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 28.589% of 100

100/x=100/28.589
(100/x)*x=(100/28.589)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4978488229739*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4978488229739) to get x
100/3.4978488229739=x
28.589=x
x=28.589

now we have:
28.589% of 100=28.589
