What is 57 percent of 103.85 - 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 103.85 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 103.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 103.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 103.85=100%
2) x=57%
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:
103.85/x=100%/57%
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 57% of 103.85

103.85/x=100/57
(103.85/x)*x=(100/57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
103.85=1.7543859649123*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7543859649123) to get x
103.85/1.7543859649123=x
59.1945=x
x=59.1945

now we have:
57% of 103.85=59.1945
