What is 5 percent of 7305.91 - 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 7305.91 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 7305.91 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7305.91=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7305.91=100%
2) x=5%
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:
7305.91/x=100%/5%
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 5% of 7305.91

7305.91/x=100/5
(7305.91/x)*x=(100/5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7305.91=20*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20) to get x
7305.91/20=x
365.2955=x
x=365.2955

now we have:
5% of 7305.91=365.2955
