What is 1.4 percent of 67.62 - 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 67.62 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 67.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 67.62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 67.62=100%
2) x=1.4%
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:
67.62/x=100%/1.4%
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 1.4% of 67.62

67.62/x=100/1.4
(67.62/x)*x=(100/1.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
67.62=71.428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.428571428571) to get x
67.62/71.428571428571=x
0.94668=x
x=0.94668

now we have:
1.4% of 67.62=0.94668
