What is 2.65 percent of 2594 - 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 2594 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 2594 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2594=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2594=100%
2) x=2.65%
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:
2594/x=100%/2.65%
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 2.65% of 2594

2594/x=100/2.65
(2594/x)*x=(100/2.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2594=37.735849056604*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (37.735849056604) to get x
2594/37.735849056604=x
68.741=x
x=68.741

now we have:
2.65% of 2594=68.741
