What is 5.11 percent of 2750 - 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 2750 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 2750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.11% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.11%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2750=100%
2) x=5.11%
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:
2750/x=100%/5.11%
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 5.11% of 2750

2750/x=100/5.11
(2750/x)*x=(100/5.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2750=19.569471624266*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.569471624266) to get x
2750/19.569471624266=x
140.525=x
x=140.525

now we have:
5.11% of 2750=140.525
