What is 2.711 percent of 518.58 - 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 518.58 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 518.58 is 100%, so we can write it down as 518.58=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.711% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.711%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 518.58=100%
2) x=2.711%
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:
518.58/x=100%/2.711%
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 2.711% of 518.58

518.58/x=100/2.711
(518.58/x)*x=(100/2.711)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
518.58=36.886757654002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.886757654002) to get x
518.58/36.886757654002=x
14.0587038=x
x=14.0587038

now we have:
