What is 5.54 percent of 433.77 - 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 433.77 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 433.77 is 100%, so we can write it down as 433.77=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.54% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.54%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 433.77=100%
2) x=5.54%
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:
433.77/x=100%/5.54%
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 5.54% of 433.77

433.77/x=100/5.54
(433.77/x)*x=(100/5.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
433.77=18.050541516245*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.050541516245) to get x
433.77/18.050541516245=x
24.030858=x
x=24.030858

now we have:
5.54% of 433.77=24.030858
