What is 5.16 percent of 45672 - 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 45672 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 45672 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45672=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45672=100%
2) x=5.16%
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:
45672/x=100%/5.16%
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 5.16% of 45672

45672/x=100/5.16
(45672/x)*x=(100/5.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45672=19.37984496124*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.37984496124) to get x
45672/19.37984496124=x
2356.6752=x
x=2356.6752

now we have:
5.16% of 45672=2356.6752
