What is 1.34 percent of 7.42 - 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 7.42 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 7.42 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.42=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.34% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.34%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.42=100%
2) x=1.34%
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:
7.42/x=100%/1.34%
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 1.34% of 7.42

7.42/x=100/1.34
(7.42/x)*x=(100/1.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.42=74.626865671642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (74.626865671642) to get x
7.42/74.626865671642=x
0.099428=x
x=0.099428

now we have:
1.34% of 7.42=0.099428
