What is 6.4 percent of 67 - 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 67 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 67 is 100%, so we can write it down as 67=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 67=100%
2) x=6.4%
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:
67/x=100%/6.4%
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 6.4% of 67

67/x=100/6.4
(67/x)*x=(100/6.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
67=15.625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.625) to get x
67/15.625=x
4.288=x
x=4.288

now we have:
6.4% of 67=4.288
