What is 2.49 percent of 7.05 - 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 7.05 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 7.05 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.05=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.49%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.05=100%
2) x=2.49%
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:
7.05/x=100%/2.49%
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 2.49% of 7.05

7.05/x=100/2.49
(7.05/x)*x=(100/2.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.05=40.160642570281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.160642570281) to get x
7.05/40.160642570281=x
0.175545=x
x=0.175545

now we have:
2.49% of 7.05=0.175545
