What is 9.75 percent of 21055.85 - 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 21055.85 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 21055.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21055.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21055.85=100%
2) x=9.75%
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:
21055.85/x=100%/9.75%
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 9.75% of 21055.85

21055.85/x=100/9.75

21055.85=10.25641025641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.25641025641) to get x
21055.85/10.25641025641=x
2052.945375=x
x=2052.945375

now we have:
