What is 15.07 percent of 51.09 - 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 51.09 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 51.09 is 100%, so we can write it down as 51.09=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.07% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.07%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 51.09=100%
2) x=15.07%
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:
51.09/x=100%/15.07%
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 15.07% of 51.09

51.09/x=100/15.07
(51.09/x)*x=(100/15.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
51.09=6.635700066357*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.635700066357) to get x
51.09/6.635700066357=x
7.699263=x
x=7.699263

now we have:
15.07% of 51.09=7.699263
