What is 5.421 percent of 69 - 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 69 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 69 is 100%, so we can write it down as 69=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.421% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.421%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 69=100%
2) x=5.421%
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:
69/x=100%/5.421%
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 5.421% of 69

69/x=100/5.421
(69/x)*x=(100/5.421)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
69=18.446781036709*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.446781036709) to get x
69/18.446781036709=x
3.74049=x
x=3.74049

now we have:
5.421% of 69=3.74049
