What is 1.65 percent of 457.91 - 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 457.91 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 457.91 is 100%, so we can write it down as 457.91=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 457.91=100%
2) x=1.65%
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:
457.91/x=100%/1.65%
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 1.65% of 457.91

457.91/x=100/1.65
(457.91/x)*x=(100/1.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
457.91=60.606060606061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.606060606061) to get x
457.91/60.606060606061=x
7.555515=x
x=7.555515

now we have:
1.65% of 457.91=7.555515
