What is 2.35 percent of 33.078 - 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 33.078 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 33.078 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33.078=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33.078=100%
2) x=2.35%
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:
33.078/x=100%/2.35%
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 2.35% of 33.078

33.078/x=100/2.35
(33.078/x)*x=(100/2.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33.078=42.553191489362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.553191489362) to get x
33.078/42.553191489362=x
0.777333=x
x=0.777333

now we have:
2.35% of 33.078=0.777333
