What is 9.36 percent of 61.7 - 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 61.7 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 61.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 61.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 61.7=100%
2) x=9.36%
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:
61.7/x=100%/9.36%
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 9.36% of 61.7

61.7/x=100/9.36
(61.7/x)*x=(100/9.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
61.7=10.683760683761*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.683760683761) to get x
61.7/10.683760683761=x
5.77512=x
x=5.77512

now we have:
9.36% of 61.7=5.77512
