What is 42.869 percent of 574 - 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 574 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 574 is 100%, so we can write it down as 574=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.869% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.869%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 574=100%
2) x=42.869%
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:
574/x=100%/42.869%
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 42.869% of 574

574/x=100/42.869
(574/x)*x=(100/42.869)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
574=2.3326879563321*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3326879563321) to get x
574/2.3326879563321=x
246.06806=x
x=246.06806

now we have:
42.869% of 574=246.06806
