What is 9.6 percent of 10600 - 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 10600 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 10600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10600=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10600=100%
2) x=9.6%
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:
10600/x=100%/9.6%
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 9.6% of 10600

10600/x=100/9.6
(10600/x)*x=(100/9.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10600=10.416666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.416666666667) to get x
10600/10.416666666667=x
1017.6=x
x=1017.6

now we have:
9.6% of 10600=1017.6
