What is 71.428 percent of 21074.75 - 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 21074.75 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 21074.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21074.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 71.428% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=71.428%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21074.75=100%
2) x=71.428%
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:
21074.75/x=100%/71.428%
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 71.428% of 21074.75

21074.75/x=100/71.428
(21074.75/x)*x=(100/71.428)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21074.75=1.4000112000896*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4000112000896) to get x
21074.75/1.4000112000896=x
15053.27243=x
x=15053.27243

now we have:
