What is 11.94 percent of 7486 - 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 7486 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 7486 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7486=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7486=100%
2) x=11.94%
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:
7486/x=100%/11.94%
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 11.94% of 7486

7486/x=100/11.94
(7486/x)*x=(100/11.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7486=8.3752093802345*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3752093802345) to get x
7486/8.3752093802345=x
893.8284=x
x=893.8284

now we have:
11.94% of 7486=893.8284
