What is 5.672 percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.672% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.672%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1000=100%
2) x=5.672%
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:
1000/x=100%/5.672%
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 5.672% of 1000

1000/x=100/5.672
(1000/x)*x=(100/5.672)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1000=17.630465444288*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.630465444288) to get x
1000/17.630465444288=x
56.72=x
x=56.72

now we have:
5.672% of 1000=56.72
