What is 5.847 percent of 31.607 - 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 31.607 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 31.607 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31.607=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.847% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.847%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31.607=100%
2) x=5.847%
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:
31.607/x=100%/5.847%
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 5.847% of 31.607

31.607/x=100/5.847
(31.607/x)*x=(100/5.847)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31.607=17.102787754404*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.102787754404) to get x
31.607/17.102787754404=x
1.84806129=x
x=1.84806129

now we have:
