What is 1.07 percent of 7400 - 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 7400 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 7400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.07% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.07%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7400=100%
2) x=1.07%
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:
7400/x=100%/1.07%
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 1.07% of 7400

7400/x=100/1.07
(7400/x)*x=(100/1.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7400=93.457943925234*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (93.457943925234) to get x
7400/93.457943925234=x
79.18=x
x=79.18

now we have:
1.07% of 7400=79.18
