What is 34.45 percent of 0.5 - 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 0.5 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 0.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.5=100%
2) x=34.45%
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:
0.5/x=100%/34.45%
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 34.45% of 0.5

0.5/x=100/34.45
(0.5/x)*x=(100/34.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.5=2.9027576197388*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9027576197388) to get x
0.5/2.9027576197388=x
0.17225=x
x=0.17225

now we have:
34.45% of 0.5=0.17225
