What is 56.25 percent of 10.5 - 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 10.5 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 10.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 56.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=56.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10.5=100%
2) x=56.25%
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:
10.5/x=100%/56.25%
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 56.25% of 10.5

10.5/x=100/56.25
(10.5/x)*x=(100/56.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10.5=1.7777777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7777777777778) to get x
10.5/1.7777777777778=x
5.90625=x
x=5.90625

now we have:
56.25% of 10.5=5.90625
