What is 2.05 percent of 1175.49 - 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 1175.49 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 1175.49 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1175.49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.05% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.05%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1175.49=100%
2) x=2.05%
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:
1175.49/x=100%/2.05%
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 2.05% of 1175.49

1175.49/x=100/2.05
(1175.49/x)*x=(100/2.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1175.49=48.780487804878*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (48.780487804878) to get x
1175.49/48.780487804878=x
24.097545=x
x=24.097545

now we have:
2.05% of 1175.49=24.097545
