What is 24.55 percent of 2.8 - 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 2.8 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 2.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.55% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.55%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.8=100%
2) x=24.55%
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:
2.8/x=100%/24.55%
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 24.55% of 2.8

2.8/x=100/24.55
(2.8/x)*x=(100/24.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.8=4.0733197556008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0733197556008) to get x
2.8/4.0733197556008=x
0.6874=x
x=0.6874

now we have:
24.55% of 2.8=0.6874
