What is 31.505 percent of 87.295 - 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 87.295 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 87.295 is 100%, so we can write it down as 87.295=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.505% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.505%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 87.295=100%
2) x=31.505%
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:
87.295/x=100%/31.505%
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 31.505% of 87.295

87.295/x=100/31.505
(87.295/x)*x=(100/31.505)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
87.295=3.1740993493096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1740993493096) to get x
87.295/3.1740993493096=x
27.50228975=x
x=27.50228975

now we have:
