What is 2945 percent of 5400 - 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 5400 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 5400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2945% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2945%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5400=100%
2) x=2945%
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:
5400/x=100%/2945%
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 2945% of 5400

5400/x=100/2945
(5400/x)*x=(100/2945)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5400=0.033955857385399*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.033955857385399) to get x
5400/0.033955857385399=x
159030=x
x=159030

now we have:
2945% of 5400=159030
