What is 6.01 percent of 144.5 - 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 144.5 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 144.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 144.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.01% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.01%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 144.5=100%
2) x=6.01%
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:
144.5/x=100%/6.01%
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 6.01% of 144.5

144.5/x=100/6.01
(144.5/x)*x=(100/6.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
144.5=16.638935108153*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.638935108153) to get x
144.5/16.638935108153=x
8.68445=x
x=8.68445

now we have:
6.01% of 144.5=8.68445
