What is 5.68 percent of 74.25 - 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 74.25 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 74.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74.25=100%
2) x=5.68%
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:
74.25/x=100%/5.68%
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 5.68% of 74.25

74.25/x=100/5.68
(74.25/x)*x=(100/5.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74.25=17.605633802817*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.605633802817) to get x
74.25/17.605633802817=x
4.2174=x
x=4.2174

now we have:
5.68% of 74.25=4.2174
