What is 1.357 percent of 155 - 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 155 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 155 is 100%, so we can write it down as 155=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.357% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.357%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 155=100%
2) x=1.357%
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:
155/x=100%/1.357%
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 1.357% of 155

155/x=100/1.357
(155/x)*x=(100/1.357)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
155=73.691967575534*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (73.691967575534) to get x
155/73.691967575534=x
2.10335=x
x=2.10335

now we have:
1.357% of 155=2.10335
