What is 6.59 percent of 2.25 - 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 2.25 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 2.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.59% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.59%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.25=100%
2) x=6.59%
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:
2.25/x=100%/6.59%
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 6.59% of 2.25

2.25/x=100/6.59
(2.25/x)*x=(100/6.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.25=15.174506828528*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.174506828528) to get x
2.25/15.174506828528=x
0.148275=x
x=0.148275

now we have:
6.59% of 2.25=0.148275
