What is 8.571 percent of 272.88 - 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 272.88 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 272.88 is 100%, so we can write it down as 272.88=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.571% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.571%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 272.88=100%
2) x=8.571%
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:
272.88/x=100%/8.571%
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 8.571% of 272.88

272.88/x=100/8.571
(272.88/x)*x=(100/8.571)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
272.88=11.667250029168*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.667250029168) to get x
272.88/11.667250029168=x
23.3885448=x
x=23.3885448

now we have:
