What is 23.27 percent of 0.0542 - 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 0.0542 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 0.0542 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.0542=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.27% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.27%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.0542=100%
2) x=23.27%
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:
0.0542/x=100%/23.27%
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 23.27% of 0.0542

0.0542/x=100/23.27
(0.0542/x)*x=(100/23.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.0542=4.2973785990546*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2973785990546) to get x
0.0542/4.2973785990546=x
0.01261234=x
x=0.01261234

now we have:
23.27% of 0.0542=0.01261234
