What is 5.07 percent of 130 - 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 130 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 130 is 100%, so we can write it down as 130=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.07% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.07%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 130=100%
2) x=5.07%
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:
130/x=100%/5.07%
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 5.07% of 130

130/x=100/5.07
(130/x)*x=(100/5.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
130=19.723865877712*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.723865877712) to get x
130/19.723865877712=x
6.591=x
x=6.591

now we have:
5.07% of 130=6.591
