What is 9.5 percent of 57.75 - 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 57.75 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 57.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 57.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 57.75=100%
2) x=9.5%
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:
57.75/x=100%/9.5%
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 9.5% of 57.75

57.75/x=100/9.5
(57.75/x)*x=(100/9.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
57.75=10.526315789474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.526315789474) to get x
57.75/10.526315789474=x
5.48625=x
x=5.48625

now we have:
9.5% of 57.75=5.48625
