What is 6.6 percent of 41850 - 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 41850 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 41850 is 100%, so we can write it down as 41850=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 41850=100%
2) x=6.6%
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:
41850/x=100%/6.6%
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 6.6% of 41850

41850/x=100/6.6
(41850/x)*x=(100/6.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
41850=15.151515151515*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.151515151515) to get x
41850/15.151515151515=x
2762.1=x
x=2762.1

now we have:
6.6% of 41850=2762.1
