What is 1.664 percent of 2.08 - 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 2.08 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 2.08 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.08=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.664% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.664%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.08=100%
2) x=1.664%
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:
2.08/x=100%/1.664%
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 1.664% of 2.08

2.08/x=100/1.664
(2.08/x)*x=(100/1.664)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.08=60.096153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.096153846154) to get x
2.08/60.096153846154=x
0.0346112=x
x=0.0346112

now we have:
1.664% of 2.08=0.0346112
