To solve the exercise you can use a rule of three:


\begin{gathered} 283\rightarrow100\text{\%} \\ x\rightarrow5.6\text{\%} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} x=\frac{5.6\text{\%}\cdot283}{100\text{\%}} \\ x=(5.6\cdot283)/(100) \\ x=(1584.8)/(100) \\ x=15.848 \end{gathered}

Therefore, 5.6% of 283 is 15.848.
