What is 2.044 percent of 20.044 - 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 20.044 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 20.044 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.044=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.044% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.044%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.044=100%
2) x=2.044%
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:
20.044/x=100%/2.044%
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 2.044% of 20.044

20.044/x=100/2.044
(20.044/x)*x=(100/2.044)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.044=48.923679060665*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (48.923679060665) to get x
20.044/48.923679060665=x
0.40969936=x
x=0.40969936

now we have:
2.044% of 20.044=0.40969936
