What is 6.04 percent of 52.24 - 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 52.24 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 52.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 52.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.04% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.04%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 52.24=100%
2) x=6.04%
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:
52.24/x=100%/6.04%
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 6.04% of 52.24

52.24/x=100/6.04
(52.24/x)*x=(100/6.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
52.24=16.556291390728*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.556291390728) to get x
52.24/16.556291390728=x
3.155296=x
x=3.155296

now we have:
6.04% of 52.24=3.155296
