What is 1.675 percent of 2.6 - 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 2.6 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 2.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.675% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.675%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.6=100%
2) x=1.675%
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:
2.6/x=100%/1.675%
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 1.675% of 2.6

2.6/x=100/1.675
(2.6/x)*x=(100/1.675)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.6=59.701492537313*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (59.701492537313) to get x
2.6/59.701492537313=x
0.04355=x
x=0.04355

now we have:
1.675% of 2.6=0.04355
