What is 5.76 percent of 70.5 - 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 70.5 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 70.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 70.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 70.5=100%
2) x=5.76%
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:
70.5/x=100%/5.76%
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 5.76% of 70.5

70.5/x=100/5.76
(70.5/x)*x=(100/5.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
70.5=17.361111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.361111111111) to get x
70.5/17.361111111111=x
4.0608=x
x=4.0608

now we have:
5.76% of 70.5=4.0608
