What is 50 percent of 7110 - 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 7110 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 7110 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7110=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7110=100%
2) x=50%
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:
7110/x=100%/50%
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 50% of 7110

7110/x=100/50
(7110/x)*x=(100/50)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7110=2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2) to get x
7110/2=x
3555=x
x=3555

now we have:
50% of 7110=3555
