What is 5.47 percent of 1595 - 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 1595 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 1595 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1595=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1595=100%
2) x=5.47%
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:
1595/x=100%/5.47%
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 5.47% of 1595

1595/x=100/5.47
(1595/x)*x=(100/5.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1595=18.281535648995*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.281535648995) to get x
1595/18.281535648995=x
87.2465=x
x=87.2465

now we have:
5.47% of 1595=87.2465
