What is 0.975 percent of 5.0118 - 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 5.0118 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 5.0118 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.0118=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.975% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.975%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.0118=100%
2) x=0.975%
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:
5.0118/x=100%/0.975%
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 0.975% of 5.0118

5.0118/x=100/0.975
(5.0118/x)*x=(100/0.975)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.0118=102.5641025641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (102.5641025641) to get x
5.0118/102.5641025641=x
0.04886505=x
x=0.04886505

now we have:
0.975% of 5.0118=0.04886505
