What is 1.9 percent of 415 - 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 415 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 415 is 100%, so we can write it down as 415=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) 415=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:
415/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 415

415/x=100/1.9
(415/x)*x=(100/1.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
415=52.631578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.631578947368) to get x
415/52.631578947368=x
7.885=x
x=7.885

now we have:
1.9% of 415=7.885
