What is 5.478 percent of 33.808 - 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 33.808 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 33.808 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33.808=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.478% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.478%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33.808=100%
2) x=5.478%
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:
33.808/x=100%/5.478%
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 5.478% of 33.808

33.808/x=100/5.478
(33.808/x)*x=(100/5.478)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33.808=18.254837531946*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.254837531946) to get x
33.808/18.254837531946=x
1.85200224=x
x=1.85200224

now we have:
