What is 6.475 percent of 77000 - 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 77000 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 77000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 77000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.475% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.475%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 77000=100%
2) x=6.475%
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:
77000/x=100%/6.475%
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 6.475% of 77000

77000/x=100/6.475
(77000/x)*x=(100/6.475)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
77000=15.444015444015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.444015444015) to get x
77000/15.444015444015=x
4985.75=x
x=4985.75

now we have:
6.475% of 77000=4985.75
