What is 1.81 percent of 45.729 - 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 45.729 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 45.729 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.729=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.81%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45.729=100%
2) x=1.81%
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:
45.729/x=100%/1.81%
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 1.81% of 45.729

45.729/x=100/1.81
(45.729/x)*x=(100/1.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45.729=55.24861878453*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (55.24861878453) to get x
45.729/55.24861878453=x
0.8276949=x
x=0.8276949

now we have:
1.81% of 45.729=0.8276949
