What is 57.15 percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100=100%
2) x=57.15%
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:
100/x=100%/57.15%
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 57.15% of 100

100/x=100/57.15
(100/x)*x=(100/57.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7497812773403*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7497812773403) to get x
100/1.7497812773403=x
57.15=x
x=57.15

now we have:
57.15% of 100=57.15
