What is 69.56 percent of 40.5 - 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 40.5 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 40.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 40.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 69.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=69.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40.5=100%
2) x=69.56%
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:
40.5/x=100%/69.56%
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 69.56% of 40.5

40.5/x=100/69.56
(40.5/x)*x=(100/69.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40.5=1.4376078205865*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4376078205865) to get x
40.5/1.4376078205865=x
28.1718=x
x=28.1718

now we have:
69.56% of 40.5=28.1718
