To solve the exercise you can use a rule of three:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 283\rightarrow100\text{\%} \\ x\rightarrow5.6\text{\%} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{5.6\text{\%}\cdot283}{100\text{\%}} \\ x=\frac{5.6\cdot283}{100} \\ x=\frac{1584.8}{100} \\ x=15.848 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, 5.6% of 283 is 15.848.
