What is 2.445 percent of 5.435 - 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 5.435 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 5.435 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.435=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.445% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.445%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.435=100%
2) x=2.445%
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:
5.435/x=100%/2.445%
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 2.445% of 5.435

5.435/x=100/2.445
(5.435/x)*x=(100/2.445)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.435=40.899795501022*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.899795501022) to get x
5.435/40.899795501022=x
0.13288575=x
x=0.13288575

now we have:
2.445% of 5.435=0.13288575
