What is 16.4 percent of 6800 - 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 6800 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 6800 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6800=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6800=100%
2) x=16.4%
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:
6800/x=100%/16.4%
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 16.4% of 6800

6800/x=100/16.4
(6800/x)*x=(100/16.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6800=6.0975609756098*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0975609756098) to get x
6800/6.0975609756098=x
1115.2=x
x=1115.2

now we have:
16.4% of 6800=1115.2
