What is 5.797 percent of 7.062 - 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 7.062 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 7.062 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.062=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.797% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.797%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.062=100%
2) x=5.797%
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:
7.062/x=100%/5.797%
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 5.797% of 7.062

7.062/x=100/5.797
(7.062/x)*x=(100/5.797)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.062=17.250301880283*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.250301880283) to get x
7.062/17.250301880283=x
0.40938414=x
x=0.40938414

now we have:
5.797% of 7.062=0.40938414
