What is 2.7777 percent of 6990 - 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 6990 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 6990 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6990=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.7777% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.7777%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6990=100%
2) x=2.7777%
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:
6990/x=100%/2.7777%
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 2.7777% of 6990

6990/x=100/2.7777
(6990/x)*x=(100/2.7777)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6990=36.001008028225*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.001008028225) to get x
6990/36.001008028225=x
194.16123=x
x=194.16123

now we have:
2.7777% of 6990=194.16123
