What is 51.77 percent of 20.54 - 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 20.54 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 20.54 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.54=100%.
4. We know, that x is 51.77% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=51.77%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.54=100%
2) x=51.77%
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:
20.54/x=100%/51.77%
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 51.77% of 20.54

20.54/x=100/51.77
(20.54/x)*x=(100/51.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.54=1.9316206297083*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9316206297083) to get x
20.54/1.9316206297083=x
10.633558=x
x=10.633558

now we have:
51.77% of 20.54=10.633558
