What is 5885 percent of 10 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5885% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5885%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10=100%
2) x=5885%
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/x=100%/5885%
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 5885% of 10

10/x=100/5885
(10/x)*x=(100/5885)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10=0.016992353440952*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.016992353440952) to get x
10/0.016992353440952=x
588.5=x
x=588.5

now we have:
5885% of 10=588.5
