What is 0.875 percent of 7970 - 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 7970 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 7970 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7970=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7970=100%
2) x=0.875%
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:
7970/x=100%/0.875%
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 0.875% of 7970

7970/x=100/0.875
(7970/x)*x=(100/0.875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7970=114.28571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (114.28571428571) to get x
7970/114.28571428571=x
69.7375=x
x=69.7375

now we have:
0.875% of 7970=69.7375
