What is 2.166 percent of 20 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.166% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.166%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=2.166%
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/x=100%/2.166%
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 2.166% of 20

20/x=100/2.166
(20/x)*x=(100/2.166)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=46.168051708218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.168051708218) to get x
20/46.168051708218=x
0.4332=x
x=0.4332

now we have:
2.166% of 20=0.4332
