What is 57.43 percent of 3.25 - 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 3.25 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 3.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.25=100%
2) x=57.43%
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:
3.25/x=100%/57.43%
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 57.43% of 3.25

3.25/x=100/57.43
(3.25/x)*x=(100/57.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.25=1.7412502176563*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7412502176563) to get x
3.25/1.7412502176563=x
1.866475=x
x=1.866475

now we have:
57.43% of 3.25=1.866475
