What is 28 percent of 177.07 - 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 177.07 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 177.07 is 100%, so we can write it down as 177.07=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 177.07=100%
2) x=28%
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:
177.07/x=100%/28%
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 28% of 177.07

177.07/x=100/28
(177.07/x)*x=(100/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
177.07=3.57142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.57142857143) to get x
177.07/3.57142857143=x
49.5796=x
x=49.5796

now we have:
28% of 177.07=49.5796
