What is 0.7 percent of 5684 - 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 5684 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 5684 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5684=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5684=100%
2) x=0.7%
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:
5684/x=100%/0.7%
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 0.7% of 5684

5684/x=100/0.7
(5684/x)*x=(100/0.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5684=142.85714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (142.85714285714) to get x
5684/142.85714285714=x
39.788=x
x=39.788

now we have:
0.7% of 5684=39.788
