What is 1.3 percent of 2672 - 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 2672 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 2672 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2672=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2672=100%
2) x=1.3%
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:
2672/x=100%/1.3%
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 1.3% of 2672

2672/x=100/1.3
(2672/x)*x=(100/1.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2672=76.923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (76.923076923077) to get x
2672/76.923076923077=x
34.736=x
x=34.736

now we have:
1.3% of 2672=34.736
