What is 1.9 percent of 65.97 - 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 65.97 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 65.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 65.97=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) 65.97=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:
65.97/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 65.97

65.97/x=100/1.9
(65.97/x)*x=(100/1.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
65.97=52.631578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.631578947368) to get x
65.97/52.631578947368=x
1.25343=x
x=1.25343

now we have:
1.9% of 65.97=1.25343
