What is 15.32 percent of 2.5 - 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 2.5 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 2.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.32%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=15.32%
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:
2.5/x=100%/15.32%
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 15.32% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/15.32
(2.5/x)*x=(100/15.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=6.5274151436031*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5274151436031) to get x
2.5/6.5274151436031=x
0.383=x
x=0.383

now we have:
15.32% of 2.5=0.383
