What is 2.9 percent of 45450.65 - 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 45450.65 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 45450.65 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45450.65=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45450.65=100%
2) x=2.9%
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:
45450.65/x=100%/2.9%
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 2.9% of 45450.65

45450.65/x=100/2.9
(45450.65/x)*x=(100/2.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
