What is 7.27 percent of 579 - 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 579 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 579 is 100%, so we can write it down as 579=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.27% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.27%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 579=100%
2) x=7.27%
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:
579/x=100%/7.27%
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 7.27% of 579

579/x=100/7.27
(579/x)*x=(100/7.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
579=13.755158184319*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.755158184319) to get x
579/13.755158184319=x
42.0933=x
x=42.0933

now we have:
7.27% of 579=42.0933
