What is 5.104 percent of 20.412 - 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 20.412 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 20.412 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.412=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.104% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.104%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.412=100%
2) x=5.104%
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:
20.412/x=100%/5.104%
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 5.104% of 20.412

20.412/x=100/5.104
(20.412/x)*x=(100/5.104)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.412=19.592476489028*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.592476489028) to get x
20.412/19.592476489028=x
1.04182848=x
x=1.04182848

now we have:
5.104% of 20.412=1.04182848
