What is 57.356 percent of 20 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.356% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.356%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=57.356%
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/x=100%/57.356%
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 57.356% of 20

20/x=100/57.356
(20/x)*x=(100/57.356)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=1.743496757096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.743496757096) to get x
20/1.743496757096=x
11.4712=x
x=11.4712

now we have:
57.356% of 20=11.4712
