What is 5.143 percent of 377.57 - 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 377.57 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 377.57 is 100%, so we can write it down as 377.57=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.143% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.143%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 377.57=100%
2) x=5.143%
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:
377.57/x=100%/5.143%
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 5.143% of 377.57

377.57/x=100/5.143
(377.57/x)*x=(100/5.143)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
