What is 0.79 percent of 870000 - 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 870000 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 870000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 870000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.79% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.79%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 870000=100%
2) x=0.79%
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:
870000/x=100%/0.79%
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 0.79% of 870000

870000/x=100/0.79
(870000/x)*x=(100/0.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
870000=126.58227848101*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (126.58227848101) to get x
870000/126.58227848101=x
6873=x
x=6873

now we have:
0.79% of 870000=6873
