What is 62 percent of 85.341 - 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 85.341 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 85.341 is 100%, so we can write it down as 85.341=100%.
4. We know, that x is 62% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 85.341=100%
2) x=62%
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:
85.341/x=100%/62%
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 62% of 85.341

85.341/x=100/62
(85.341/x)*x=(100/62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
85.341=1.6129032258065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6129032258065) to get x
85.341/1.6129032258065=x
52.91142=x
x=52.91142

now we have:
62% of 85.341=52.91142
