What is 5.87 percent of 445.39 - 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 445.39 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 445.39 is 100%, so we can write it down as 445.39=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.87% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.87%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 445.39=100%
2) x=5.87%
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:
445.39/x=100%/5.87%
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 5.87% of 445.39

445.39/x=100/5.87
(445.39/x)*x=(100/5.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
445.39=17.035775127768*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.035775127768) to get x
445.39/17.035775127768=x
26.144393=x
x=26.144393

now we have:
5.87% of 445.39=26.144393
