What is 3.03 percent of 0.49 - 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 0.49 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 0.49 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.03% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.03%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.49=100%
2) x=3.03%
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:
0.49/x=100%/3.03%
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 3.03% of 0.49

0.49/x=100/3.03
(0.49/x)*x=(100/3.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.49=33.003300330033*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.003300330033) to get x
0.49/33.003300330033=x
0.014847=x
x=0.014847

now we have:
3.03% of 0.49=0.014847
