What is 65.6 percent of 52 - 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 52 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 52 is 100%, so we can write it down as 52=100%.
4. We know, that x is 65.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=65.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 52=100%
2) x=65.6%
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:
52/x=100%/65.6%
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 65.6% of 52

52/x=100/65.6
(52/x)*x=(100/65.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
52=1.5243902439024*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5243902439024) to get x
52/1.5243902439024=x
34.112=x
x=34.112

now we have:
65.6% of 52=34.112
