What is 5.888 percent of 52.7 - 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 52.7 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 52.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 52.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.888% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.888%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 52.7=100%
2) x=5.888%
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:
52.7/x=100%/5.888%
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 5.888% of 52.7

52.7/x=100/5.888
(52.7/x)*x=(100/5.888)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
52.7=16.983695652174*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.983695652174) to get x
52.7/16.983695652174=x
3.102976=x
x=3.102976

now we have:
5.888% of 52.7=3.102976
