What is 35.71 percent of 5.9 - 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 5.9 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 5.9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.9=100%
2) x=35.71%
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:
5.9/x=100%/35.71%
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 35.71% of 5.9

5.9/x=100/35.71
(5.9/x)*x=(100/35.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.9=2.8003360403248*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8003360403248) to get x
5.9/2.8003360403248=x
2.10689=x
x=2.10689

now we have:
35.71% of 5.9=2.10689
