What is 1.25 percent of 5349.17 - 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 5349.17 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 5349.17 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5349.17=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5349.17=100%
2) x=1.25%
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:
5349.17/x=100%/1.25%
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 1.25% of 5349.17

5349.17/x=100/1.25
(5349.17/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5349.17=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
5349.17/80=x
66.864625=x
x=66.864625

now we have:
1.25% of 5349.17=66.864625
