What is 2.43 percent of 1.98 - 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 1.98 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 1.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.98=100%
2) x=2.43%
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:
1.98/x=100%/2.43%
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 2.43% of 1.98

1.98/x=100/2.43
(1.98/x)*x=(100/2.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.98=41.152263374486*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.152263374486) to get x
1.98/41.152263374486=x
0.048114=x
x=0.048114

now we have:
2.43% of 1.98=0.048114
