What is 5.49 percent of 1060 - 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 1060 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 1060 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1060=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.49%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1060=100%
2) x=5.49%
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:
1060/x=100%/5.49%
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 5.49% of 1060

1060/x=100/5.49
(1060/x)*x=(100/5.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1060=18.214936247723*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.214936247723) to get x
1060/18.214936247723=x
58.194=x
x=58.194

now we have:
5.49% of 1060=58.194
