What is 2.078 percent of 2.694 - 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 2.694 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 2.694 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.694=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.078% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.078%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.694=100%
2) x=2.078%
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:
2.694/x=100%/2.078%
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 2.078% of 2.694

2.694/x=100/2.078
(2.694/x)*x=(100/2.078)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.694=48.123195380173*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (48.123195380173) to get x
2.694/48.123195380173=x
0.05598132=x
x=0.05598132

now we have:
2.078% of 2.694=0.05598132
