What is 9 percent of 28599.36 - 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 28599.36 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 28599.36 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28599.36=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28599.36=100%
2) x=9%
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:
28599.36/x=100%/9%
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 9% of 28599.36

28599.36/x=100/9
(28599.36/x)*x=(100/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28599.36=11.111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.111111111111) to get x
28599.36/11.111111111111=x
2573.9424=x
x=2573.9424

now we have:
