What is 135 percent of 5.05 - 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 5.05 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 5.05 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.05=100%.
4. We know, that x is 135% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=135%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.05=100%
2) x=135%
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:
5.05/x=100%/135%
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 135% of 5.05

5.05/x=100/135
(5.05/x)*x=(100/135)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.05=0.74074074074074*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.74074074074074) to get x
5.05/0.74074074074074=x
6.8175=x
x=6.8175

now we have:
135% of 5.05=6.8175
