What is 2.4555 percent of 636.05 - 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 636.05 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 636.05 is 100%, so we can write it down as 636.05=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.4555% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.4555%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 636.05=100%
2) x=2.4555%
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:
636.05/x=100%/2.4555%
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 2.4555% of 636.05

636.05/x=100/2.4555
(636.05/x)*x=(100/2.4555)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
636.05=40.724903278355*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.724903278355) to get x
636.05/40.724903278355=x
15.61820775=x
x=15.61820775

now we have:
2.4555% of 636.05=15.61820775
