What is 3.58 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 3.58% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.58%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.98=100%
2) x=3.58%
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%/3.58%
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 3.58% of 6.98

6.98/x=100/3.58
(6.98/x)*x=(100/3.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.98=27.932960893855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.932960893855) to get x
6.98/27.932960893855=x
0.249884=x
x=0.249884

now we have:
3.58% of 6.98=0.249884
