What is 5.88235294118 percent of 68 - 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 68 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 68 is 100%, so we can write it down as 68=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.88235294118% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.88235294118%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 68=100%
2) x=5.88235294118%
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:
68/x=100%/5.88235294118%
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 5.88235294118% of 68

68/x=100/5.88235294118
(68/x)*x=(100/5.88235294118)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
68=16.99999999999*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.99999999999) to get x
68/16.99999999999=x
4.0000000000024=x
x=4.0000000000024

now we have:
5.88235294118% of 68=4.0000000000024
