What is 5.775 percent of 80 - 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 80 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 80 is 100%, so we can write it down as 80=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.775% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.775%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 80=100%
2) x=5.775%
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:
80/x=100%/5.775%
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 5.775% of 80

80/x=100/5.775
(80/x)*x=(100/5.775)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
80=17.316017316017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.316017316017) to get x
80/17.316017316017=x
4.62=x
x=4.62

now we have:
5.775% of 80=4.62
