What is 2.48 percent of 75 - 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 75 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 75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75=100%
2) x=2.48%
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:
75/x=100%/2.48%
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 2.48% of 75

75/x=100/2.48
(75/x)*x=(100/2.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75=40.322580645161*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.322580645161) to get x
75/40.322580645161=x
1.86=x
x=1.86

now we have:
2.48% of 75=1.86
