What is 25 percent of 6926 - 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 6926 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 6926 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6926=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6926=100%
2) x=25%
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:
6926/x=100%/25%
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 25% of 6926

6926/x=100/25
(6926/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6926=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
6926/4=x
1731.5=x
x=1731.5

now we have:
25% of 6926=1731.5
