What is 6.6 percent of 575000000 - 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 575000000 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 575000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 575000000=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) 575000000=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:
575000000/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 575000000

575000000/x=100/6.6
(575000000/x)*x=(100/6.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
575000000=15.151515151515*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.151515151515) to get x
575000000/15.151515151515=x
37950000=x
x=37950000

now we have:
6.6% of 575000000=37950000
