What is 2.625 percent of 51.254 - 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 51.254 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 51.254 is 100%, so we can write it down as 51.254=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) 51.254=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:
51.254/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 51.254

51.254/x=100/2.625
(51.254/x)*x=(100/2.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
51.254=38.095238095238*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (38.095238095238) to get x
51.254/38.095238095238=x
1.3454175=x
x=1.3454175

now we have:
2.625% of 51.254=1.3454175
