What is 8.6 percent of 570 - 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 570 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 570 is 100%, so we can write it down as 570=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 570=100%
2) x=8.6%
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:
570/x=100%/8.6%
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 8.6% of 570

570/x=100/8.6
(570/x)*x=(100/8.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
570=11.627906976744*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.627906976744) to get x
570/11.627906976744=x
49.02=x
x=49.02

now we have:
8.6% of 570=49.02
