What is 5.99 percent of 695 - 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 695 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 695 is 100%, so we can write it down as 695=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 695=100%
2) x=5.99%
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:
695/x=100%/5.99%
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 5.99% of 695

695/x=100/5.99
(695/x)*x=(100/5.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
695=16.69449081803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.69449081803) to get x
695/16.69449081803=x
41.6305=x
x=41.6305

now we have:
5.99% of 695=41.6305
