What is 5.7096 percent of 2625 - 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 2625 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 2625 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2625=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.7096% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.7096%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2625=100%
2) x=5.7096%
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:
2625/x=100%/5.7096%
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 5.7096% of 2625

2625/x=100/5.7096
(2625/x)*x=(100/5.7096)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2625=17.514361776657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.514361776657) to get x
2625/17.514361776657=x
149.877=x
x=149.877

now we have:
5.7096% of 2625=149.877
