What is 5.3571428571429 percent of 2.04 - 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 2.04 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 2.04 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.04=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.3571428571429% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.3571428571429%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.04=100%
2) x=5.3571428571429%
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:
2.04/x=100%/5.3571428571429%
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 5.3571428571429% of 2.04

2.04/x=100/5.3571428571429
(2.04/x)*x=(100/5.3571428571429)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.04=18.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.666666666667) to get x
2.04/18.666666666667=x
0.10928571428572=x
x=0.10928571428572

now we have:
5.3571428571429% of 2.04=0.10928571428572
