What is 28.77 percent of 6.98 - 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 6.98 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 6.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.77% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.77%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.98=100%
2) x=28.77%
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:
6.98/x=100%/28.77%
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 28.77% of 6.98

6.98/x=100/28.77
(6.98/x)*x=(100/28.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.98=3.4758428919013*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4758428919013) to get x
6.98/3.4758428919013=x
2.008146=x
x=2.008146

now we have:
28.77% of 6.98=2.008146
