What is 2.328 percent of 2.85 - 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 2.85 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 2.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.328% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.328%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.85=100%
2) x=2.328%
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:
2.85/x=100%/2.328%
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 2.328% of 2.85

2.85/x=100/2.328
(2.85/x)*x=(100/2.328)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.85=42.955326460481*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.955326460481) to get x
2.85/42.955326460481=x
0.066348=x
x=0.066348

now we have:
2.328% of 2.85=0.066348
