What is 3.5714 percent of 35.83 - 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 35.83 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 35.83 is 100%, so we can write it down as 35.83=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.5714% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.5714%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 35.83=100%
2) x=3.5714%
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:
35.83/x=100%/3.5714%
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 3.5714% of 35.83

35.83/x=100/3.5714
(35.83/x)*x=(100/3.5714)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
35.83=28.000224001792*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.000224001792) to get x
35.83/28.000224001792=x
1.27963262=x
x=1.27963262

now we have:
3.5714% of 35.83=1.27963262
