What is 1.55 percent of 1358.8 - 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 1358.8 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 1358.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1358.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.55% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.55%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1358.8=100%
2) x=1.55%
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:
1358.8/x=100%/1.55%
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 1.55% of 1358.8

1358.8/x=100/1.55
(1358.8/x)*x=(100/1.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1358.8=64.516129032258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (64.516129032258) to get x
1358.8/64.516129032258=x
21.0614=x
x=21.0614

now we have:
1.55% of 1358.8=21.0614
