What is 5.7 percent of 30572.44 - 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 30572.44 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 30572.44 is 100%, so we can write it down as 30572.44=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 30572.44=100%
2) x=5.7%
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:
30572.44/x=100%/5.7%
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 5.7% of 30572.44

30572.44/x=100/5.7
