What is 13.69 percent of 7.4 - 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 7.4 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 7.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.69% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.69%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.4=100%
2) x=13.69%
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:
7.4/x=100%/13.69%
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 13.69% of 7.4

7.4/x=100/13.69
(7.4/x)*x=(100/13.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.4=7.3046018991965*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.3046018991965) to get x
7.4/7.3046018991965=x
1.01306=x
x=1.01306

now we have:
13.69% of 7.4=1.01306
