What is 10.33 percent of 27.125 - 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 27.125 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 27.125 is 100%, so we can write it down as 27.125=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 27.125=100%
2) x=10.33%
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:
27.125/x=100%/10.33%
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 10.33% of 27.125

27.125/x=100/10.33
(27.125/x)*x=(100/10.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
27.125=9.6805421103582*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.6805421103582) to get x
27.125/9.6805421103582=x
2.8020125=x
x=2.8020125

now we have:
10.33% of 27.125=2.8020125
