What is 2.823 percent of 21.469 - 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 21.469 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 21.469 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21.469=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.823% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.823%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21.469=100%
2) x=2.823%
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:
21.469/x=100%/2.823%
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 2.823% of 21.469

21.469/x=100/2.823
(21.469/x)*x=(100/2.823)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21.469=35.423308537017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.423308537017) to get x
21.469/35.423308537017=x
0.60606987=x
x=0.60606987

now we have:
