What is 2.715 percent of 6.24 - 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 6.24 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 6.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.715% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.715%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.24=100%
2) x=2.715%
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:
6.24/x=100%/2.715%
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 2.715% of 6.24

6.24/x=100/2.715
(6.24/x)*x=(100/2.715)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.24=36.83241252302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.83241252302) to get x
6.24/36.83241252302=x
0.169416=x
x=0.169416

now we have:
2.715% of 6.24=0.169416
