What is 3.07 percent of 5417 - 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 5417 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 5417 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5417=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.07% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.07%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5417=100%
2) x=3.07%
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:
5417/x=100%/3.07%
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 3.07% of 5417

5417/x=100/3.07
(5417/x)*x=(100/3.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5417=32.57328990228*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.57328990228) to get x
5417/32.57328990228=x
166.3019=x
x=166.3019

now we have:
3.07% of 5417=166.3019
