What is 6.17 percent of 68.28 - 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 68.28 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 68.28 is 100%, so we can write it down as 68.28=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 68.28=100%
2) x=6.17%
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:
68.28/x=100%/6.17%
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 6.17% of 68.28

68.28/x=100/6.17
(68.28/x)*x=(100/6.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
68.28=16.207455429498*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.207455429498) to get x
68.28/16.207455429498=x
4.212876=x
x=4.212876

now we have:
6.17% of 68.28=4.212876
