What is 10.24 percent of 2.05 - 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 2.05 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 2.05 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.05=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.05=100%
2) x=10.24%
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:
2.05/x=100%/10.24%
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 10.24% of 2.05

2.05/x=100/10.24
(2.05/x)*x=(100/10.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.05=9.765625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.765625) to get x
2.05/9.765625=x
0.20992=x
x=0.20992

now we have:
10.24% of 2.05=0.20992
