What is 2.03 percent of 153.15 - 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 153.15 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 153.15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 153.15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.03% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.03%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 153.15=100%
2) x=2.03%
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:
153.15/x=100%/2.03%
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 2.03% of 153.15

153.15/x=100/2.03
(153.15/x)*x=(100/2.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
153.15=49.261083743842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.261083743842) to get x
153.15/49.261083743842=x
3.108945=x
x=3.108945

now we have:
2.03% of 153.15=3.108945
