What is 7.51 percent of 540 - 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 540 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 540 is 100%, so we can write it down as 540=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.51% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.51%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 540=100%
2) x=7.51%
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:
540/x=100%/7.51%
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 7.51% of 540

540/x=100/7.51
(540/x)*x=(100/7.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
540=13.315579227696*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.315579227696) to get x
540/13.315579227696=x
40.554=x
x=40.554

now we have:
7.51% of 540=40.554
