What is 3.03 percent of 73.55 - 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 73.55 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 73.55 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73.55=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) 73.55=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:
73.55/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 73.55

73.55/x=100/3.03
(73.55/x)*x=(100/3.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73.55=33.003300330033*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.003300330033) to get x
73.55/33.003300330033=x
2.228565=x
x=2.228565

now we have:
3.03% of 73.55=2.228565
