What is 5.21 percent of 3350 - 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 3350 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 3350 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3350=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3350=100%
2) x=5.21%
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:
3350/x=100%/5.21%
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 5.21% of 3350

3350/x=100/5.21
(3350/x)*x=(100/5.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3350=19.193857965451*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.193857965451) to get x
3350/19.193857965451=x
174.535=x
x=174.535

now we have:
5.21% of 3350=174.535
