What is 3.52 percent of 72.98 - 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 72.98 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 72.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 72.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 72.98=100%
2) x=3.52%
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:
72.98/x=100%/3.52%
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 3.52% of 72.98

72.98/x=100/3.52
(72.98/x)*x=(100/3.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
72.98=28.409090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.409090909091) to get x
72.98/28.409090909091=x
2.568896=x
x=2.568896

now we have:
3.52% of 72.98=2.568896
