What is 28.92 percent of 20 - 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 20 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 20 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.92% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.92%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=28.92%
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:
20/x=100%/28.92%
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 28.92% of 20

20/x=100/28.92
(20/x)*x=(100/28.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=3.4578146611342*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4578146611342) to get x
20/3.4578146611342=x
5.784=x
x=5.784

now we have:
28.92% of 20=5.784
