What is 5.71 percent of 69.16 - 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 69.16 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 69.16 is 100%, so we can write it down as 69.16=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 69.16=100%
2) x=5.71%
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:
69.16/x=100%/5.71%
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 5.71% of 69.16

69.16/x=100/5.71
(69.16/x)*x=(100/5.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
69.16=17.513134851138*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.513134851138) to get x
69.16/17.513134851138=x
3.949036=x
x=3.949036

now we have:
5.71% of 69.16=3.949036
