What is 31.607 percent of 5.847 - 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 5.847 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 5.847 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.847=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.607% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.607%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.847=100%
2) x=31.607%
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:
5.847/x=100%/31.607%
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 31.607% of 5.847

5.847/x=100/31.607
(5.847/x)*x=(100/31.607)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.847=3.1638561078242*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1638561078242) to get x
5.847/3.1638561078242=x
1.84806129=x
x=1.84806129

now we have:
31.607% of 5.847=1.84806129
