What is 1.47 percent of 116 - 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 116 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 116 is 100%, so we can write it down as 116=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 116=100%
2) x=1.47%
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:
116/x=100%/1.47%
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 1.47% of 116

116/x=100/1.47
(116/x)*x=(100/1.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
116=68.027210884354*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.027210884354) to get x
116/68.027210884354=x
1.7052=x
x=1.7052

now we have:
1.47% of 116=1.7052
