What is 6.69 percent of 42000 - 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 42000 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 42000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.69% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.69%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42000=100%
2) x=6.69%
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:
42000/x=100%/6.69%
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 6.69% of 42000

42000/x=100/6.69
(42000/x)*x=(100/6.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42000=14.947683109118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.947683109118) to get x
42000/14.947683109118=x
2809.8=x
x=2809.8

now we have:
6.69% of 42000=2809.8
