What is 7.6 percent of 575 - 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 575 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 575 is 100%, so we can write it down as 575=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 575=100%
2) x=7.6%
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:
575/x=100%/7.6%
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 7.6% of 575

575/x=100/7.6
(575/x)*x=(100/7.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
575=13.157894736842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.157894736842) to get x
575/13.157894736842=x
43.7=x
x=43.7

now we have:
7.6% of 575=43.7
