What is 9.875 percent of 544.99 - 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 544.99 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 544.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 544.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 544.99=100%
2) x=9.875%
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:
544.99/x=100%/9.875%
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 9.875% of 544.99

544.99/x=100/9.875
(544.99/x)*x=(100/9.875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
544.99=10.126582278481*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.126582278481) to get x
544.99/10.126582278481=x
53.8177625=x
x=53.8177625

now we have:
