What is 1.85 percent of 6800 - 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 6800 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 6800 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6800=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6800=100%
2) x=1.85%
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:
6800/x=100%/1.85%
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 1.85% of 6800

6800/x=100/1.85
(6800/x)*x=(100/1.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6800=54.054054054054*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (54.054054054054) to get x
6800/54.054054054054=x
125.8=x
x=125.8

now we have:
1.85% of 6800=125.8
