What is 1 percent of 7071 - 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 7071 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 7071 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7071=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7071=100%
2) x=1%
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:
7071/x=100%/1%
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 1% of 7071

7071/x=100/1
(7071/x)*x=(100/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7071=100*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (100) to get x
7071/100=x
70.71=x
x=70.71

now we have:
1% of 7071=70.71
