What is 13.9 percent of 969 - 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 969 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 969 is 100%, so we can write it down as 969=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 969=100%
2) x=13.9%
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:
969/x=100%/13.9%
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 13.9% of 969

969/x=100/13.9
(969/x)*x=(100/13.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
969=7.1942446043165*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.1942446043165) to get x
969/7.1942446043165=x
134.691=x
x=134.691

now we have:
13.9% of 969=134.691
