What is 9.58 percent of 216 - 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 216 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 216 is 100%, so we can write it down as 216=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.58% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.58%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 216=100%
2) x=9.58%
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:
216/x=100%/9.58%
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 9.58% of 216

216/x=100/9.58
(216/x)*x=(100/9.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
216=10.438413361169*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.438413361169) to get x
216/10.438413361169=x
20.6928=x
x=20.6928

now we have:
9.58% of 216=20.6928
