What is 6.1 percent of 2100 - 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 2100 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 2100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2100=100%
2) x=6.1%
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:
2100/x=100%/6.1%
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 6.1% of 2100

2100/x=100/6.1
(2100/x)*x=(100/6.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2100=16.393442622951*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.393442622951) to get x
2100/16.393442622951=x
128.1=x
x=128.1

now we have:
6.1% of 2100=128.1
