What is 1.5 percent of 4.45 - 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 4.45 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 4.45 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.45=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.45=100%
2) x=1.5%
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:
4.45/x=100%/1.5%
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 1.5% of 4.45

4.45/x=100/1.5
(4.45/x)*x=(100/1.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.45=66.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.666666666667) to get x
4.45/66.666666666667=x
0.06675=x
x=0.06675

now we have:
1.5% of 4.45=0.06675
