What is 4.59 percent of 5.1 - 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 5.1 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 5.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.59% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.59%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.1=100%
2) x=4.59%
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:
5.1/x=100%/4.59%
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 4.59% of 5.1

5.1/x=100/4.59
(5.1/x)*x=(100/4.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.1=21.786492374728*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.786492374728) to get x
5.1/21.786492374728=x
0.23409=x
x=0.23409

now we have:
4.59% of 5.1=0.23409
