What is 0.74 percent of 0.74 - 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 0.74 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 0.74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.74=100%
2) x=0.74%
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:
0.74/x=100%/0.74%
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 0.74% of 0.74

0.74/x=100/0.74
(0.74/x)*x=(100/0.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.74=135.13513513514*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (135.13513513514) to get x
0.74/135.13513513514=x
0.005476=x
x=0.005476

now we have:
0.74% of 0.74=0.005476
