What is 31.67 percent of 6.85 - 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 6.85 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 6.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.67% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.67%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.85=100%
2) x=31.67%
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:
6.85/x=100%/31.67%
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 31.67% of 6.85

6.85/x=100/31.67
(6.85/x)*x=(100/31.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.85=3.1575623618566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1575623618566) to get x
6.85/3.1575623618566=x
2.169395=x
x=2.169395

now we have:
31.67% of 6.85=2.169395
