What is 57.48 percent of 28 - 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 28 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 28 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28=100%
2) x=57.48%
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:
28/x=100%/57.48%
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 57.48% of 28

28/x=100/57.48
(28/x)*x=(100/57.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28=1.7397355601949*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7397355601949) to get x
28/1.7397355601949=x
16.0944=x
x=16.0944

now we have:
57.48% of 28=16.0944
