What is 4020 percent of 6890 - 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 6890 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 6890 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6890=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4020% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4020%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6890=100%
2) x=4020%
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:
6890/x=100%/4020%
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 4020% of 6890

6890/x=100/4020
(6890/x)*x=(100/4020)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6890=0.024875621890547*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.024875621890547) to get x
6890/0.024875621890547=x
276978=x
x=276978

now we have:
4020% of 6890=276978
