What is 1.15 percent of 51.75 - 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 51.75 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 51.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 51.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 51.75=100%
2) x=1.15%
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:
51.75/x=100%/1.15%
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 1.15% of 51.75

51.75/x=100/1.15
(51.75/x)*x=(100/1.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
51.75=86.95652173913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (86.95652173913) to get x
51.75/86.95652173913=x
0.595125=x
x=0.595125

now we have:
1.15% of 51.75=0.595125
