What is 2.09 percent of 30.23 - 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 30.23 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 30.23 is 100%, so we can write it down as 30.23=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.09% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.09%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 30.23=100%
2) x=2.09%
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:
30.23/x=100%/2.09%
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 2.09% of 30.23

30.23/x=100/2.09
(30.23/x)*x=(100/2.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
30.23=47.846889952153*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.846889952153) to get x
30.23/47.846889952153=x
0.631807=x
x=0.631807

now we have:
2.09% of 30.23=0.631807
