What is 50.3 percent of 0.0533 - 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 0.0533 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 0.0533 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.0533=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.0533=100%
2) x=50.3%
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:
0.0533/x=100%/50.3%
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 50.3% of 0.0533

0.0533/x=100/50.3
(0.0533/x)*x=(100/50.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.0533=1.9880715705765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9880715705765) to get x
0.0533/1.9880715705765=x
0.0268099=x
x=0.0268099

now we have:
50.3% of 0.0533=0.0268099
