What is 1.89 percent of 7700 - 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 7700 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 7700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.89% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.89%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7700=100%
2) x=1.89%
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:
7700/x=100%/1.89%
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 1.89% of 7700

7700/x=100/1.89
(7700/x)*x=(100/1.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7700=52.910052910053*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.910052910053) to get x
7700/52.910052910053=x
145.53=x
x=145.53

now we have:
1.89% of 7700=145.53
