What is 33.99 percent of 0.0502 - 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 0.0502 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 0.0502 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.0502=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.0502=100%
2) x=33.99%
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:
0.0502/x=100%/33.99%
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 33.99% of 0.0502

0.0502/x=100/33.99
(0.0502/x)*x=(100/33.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.0502=2.9420417769932*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9420417769932) to get x
0.0502/2.9420417769932=x
0.01706298=x
x=0.01706298

now we have:
33.99% of 0.0502=0.01706298
