What is 1.399 percent of 6.12 - 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 6.12 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 6.12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.399% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.399%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.12=100%
2) x=1.399%
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:
6.12/x=100%/1.399%
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 1.399% of 6.12

6.12/x=100/1.399
(6.12/x)*x=(100/1.399)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.12=71.479628305933*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.479628305933) to get x
6.12/71.479628305933=x
0.0856188=x
x=0.0856188

now we have:
1.399% of 6.12=0.0856188
