What is 1.429 percent of 6 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.429% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.429%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6=100%
2) x=1.429%
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/x=100%/1.429%
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 1.429% of 6

6/x=100/1.429
(6/x)*x=(100/1.429)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6=69.979006298111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (69.979006298111) to get x
6/69.979006298111=x
0.08574=x
x=0.08574

now we have:
1.429% of 6=0.08574
