What is 1.526 percent of 321.057 - 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 321.057 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 321.057 is 100%, so we can write it down as 321.057=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.526% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.526%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 321.057=100%
2) x=1.526%
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:
321.057/x=100%/1.526%
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 1.526% of 321.057

321.057/x=100/1.526
(321.057/x)*x=(100/1.526)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
321.057=65.530799475754*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (65.530799475754) to get x
321.057/65.530799475754=x
4.89932982=x
x=4.89932982

now we have:
