What is 1.9 percent of 2502 - 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 2502 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 2502 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2502=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2502=100%
2) x=1.9%
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:
2502/x=100%/1.9%
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 1.9% of 2502

2502/x=100/1.9
(2502/x)*x=(100/1.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2502=52.631578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.631578947368) to get x
2502/52.631578947368=x
47.538=x
x=47.538

now we have:
1.9% of 2502=47.538
