What is 5.19 percent of 36.95 - 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 36.95 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 36.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 36.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.19% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.19%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 36.95=100%
2) x=5.19%
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:
36.95/x=100%/5.19%
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 5.19% of 36.95

36.95/x=100/5.19
(36.95/x)*x=(100/5.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
36.95=19.267822736031*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.267822736031) to get x
36.95/19.267822736031=x
1.917705=x
x=1.917705

now we have:
5.19% of 36.95=1.917705
