What is 1.039 percent of 179.39 - 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 179.39 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 179.39 is 100%, so we can write it down as 179.39=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.039% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.039%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 179.39=100%
2) x=1.039%
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:
179.39/x=100%/1.039%
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 1.039% of 179.39

179.39/x=100/1.039
(179.39/x)*x=(100/1.039)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
179.39=96.246390760347*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (96.246390760347) to get x
179.39/96.246390760347=x
1.8638621=x
x=1.8638621

now we have:
