Answer:Hi there

Explanation:

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 51 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 51 is 100%, so we can write it down as 51=100%.

4. We know, that x is 110% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=110%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 51=100%

2) x=110%

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:

51/x=100%/110%

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 110% of 51

51/x=100/110

(51/x)*x=(100/110)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

51=0.909090909091*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.909090909091) to get x

51/0.909090909091=x

56.1=x

x=56.1

now we have:

110% of 51=56.1
