What is 6.66 percent of 5300 - 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 5300 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 5300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.66% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.66%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5300=100%
2) x=6.66%
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:
5300/x=100%/6.66%
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 6.66% of 5300

5300/x=100/6.66
(5300/x)*x=(100/6.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5300=15.015015015015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.015015015015) to get x
5300/15.015015015015=x
352.98=x
x=352.98

now we have:
6.66% of 5300=352.98
