What is 9.71 percent of 0.5 - 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 0.5 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 0.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.5=100%
2) x=9.71%
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:
0.5/x=100%/9.71%
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 9.71% of 0.5

0.5/x=100/9.71
(0.5/x)*x=(100/9.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.5=10.298661174047*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.298661174047) to get x
0.5/10.298661174047=x
0.04855=x
x=0.04855

now we have:
9.71% of 0.5=0.04855
