What is 2.985 percent of 206.48 - 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 206.48 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 206.48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 206.48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.985% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.985%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 206.48=100%
2) x=2.985%
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:
206.48/x=100%/2.985%
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 2.985% of 206.48

206.48/x=100/2.985
(206.48/x)*x=(100/2.985)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
206.48=33.500837520938*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.500837520938) to get x
206.48/33.500837520938=x
6.163428=x
x=6.163428

now we have:
2.985% of 206.48=6.163428
