What is 5.975 percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.975% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.975%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100=100%
2) x=5.975%
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:
100/x=100%/5.975%
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 5.975% of 100

100/x=100/5.975
(100/x)*x=(100/5.975)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.73640167364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.73640167364) to get x
100/16.73640167364=x
5.975=x
x=5.975

now we have:
5.975% of 100=5.975
