What is 2.625 percent of 5.92 - 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 5.92 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 5.92 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.92=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.92=100%
2) x=2.625%
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:
5.92/x=100%/2.625%
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 2.625% of 5.92

5.92/x=100/2.625
(5.92/x)*x=(100/2.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.92=38.095238095238*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (38.095238095238) to get x
5.92/38.095238095238=x
0.1554=x
x=0.1554

now we have:
2.625% of 5.92=0.1554
