What is 5.39 percent of 801.12 - 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 801.12 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 801.12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 801.12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.39% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.39%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 801.12=100%
2) x=5.39%
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:
801.12/x=100%/5.39%
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 5.39% of 801.12

801.12/x=100/5.39
(801.12/x)*x=(100/5.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
801.12=18.552875695733*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.552875695733) to get x
801.12/18.552875695733=x
43.180368=x
x=43.180368

now we have:
5.39% of 801.12=43.180368
