What is 2.52 percent of 210.125 - 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 210.125 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 210.125 is 100%, so we can write it down as 210.125=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 210.125=100%
2) x=2.52%
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:
210.125/x=100%/2.52%
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 2.52% of 210.125

210.125/x=100/2.52
(210.125/x)*x=(100/2.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
210.125=39.68253968254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.68253968254) to get x
210.125/39.68253968254=x
5.29515=x
x=5.29515

now we have:
2.52% of 210.125=5.29515
