What is 5.2 percent of 6.76 - 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 6.76 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 6.76 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.76=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.76=100%
2) x=5.2%
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:
6.76/x=100%/5.2%
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 5.2% of 6.76

6.76/x=100/5.2
(6.76/x)*x=(100/5.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.76=19.2307692308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.2307692308) to get x
6.76/19.2307692308=x
0.35152=x
x=0.35152

now we have:
5.2% of 6.76=0.35152
