What is 15.742 percent of 7050000 - 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 7050000 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 7050000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7050000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.742% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.742%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7050000=100%
2) x=15.742%
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:
7050000/x=100%/15.742%
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 15.742% of 7050000

7050000/x=100/15.742
(7050000/x)*x=(100/15.742)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7050000=6.352432981832*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.352432981832) to get x
7050000/6.352432981832=x
1109811=x
x=1109811

now we have:
15.742% of 7050000=1109811
