What is 9.937 percent of 28.87 - 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 28.87 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 28.87 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28.87=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.937% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.937%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28.87=100%
2) x=9.937%
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:
28.87/x=100%/9.937%
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 9.937% of 28.87

28.87/x=100/9.937
(28.87/x)*x=(100/9.937)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28.87=10.063399416323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.063399416323) to get x
28.87/10.063399416323=x
2.8688119=x
x=2.8688119

now we have:
9.937% of 28.87=2.8688119
