What is 5.9794 percent of 794 - 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 794 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 794 is 100%, so we can write it down as 794=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.9794% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.9794%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 794=100%
2) x=5.9794%
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:
794/x=100%/5.9794%
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 5.9794% of 794

794/x=100/5.9794
(794/x)*x=(100/5.9794)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
794=16.724086028699*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.724086028699) to get x
794/16.724086028699=x
47.476436=x
x=47.476436

now we have:
5.9794% of 794=47.476436
