What is 1997 percent of 5468 - 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 5468 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 5468 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5468=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1997% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1997%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5468=100%
2) x=1997%
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:
5468/x=100%/1997%
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 1997% of 5468

5468/x=100/1997
(5468/x)*x=(100/1997)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5468=0.050075112669004*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.050075112669004) to get x
5468/0.050075112669004=x
109195.96=x
x=109195.96

now we have:
1997% of 5468=109195.96
