What is 1.51 percent of 5022 - 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 5022 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 5022 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5022=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.51% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.51%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5022=100%
2) x=1.51%
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:
5022/x=100%/1.51%
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 1.51% of 5022

5022/x=100/1.51
(5022/x)*x=(100/1.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5022=66.225165562914*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.225165562914) to get x
5022/66.225165562914=x
75.8322=x
x=75.8322

now we have:
1.51% of 5022=75.8322
