What is 6.74 percent of 77.36 - 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 77.36 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 77.36 is 100%, so we can write it down as 77.36=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 77.36=100%
2) x=6.74%
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:
77.36/x=100%/6.74%
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 6.74% of 77.36

77.36/x=100/6.74
(77.36/x)*x=(100/6.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
77.36=14.836795252226*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.836795252226) to get x
77.36/14.836795252226=x
5.214064=x
x=5.214064

now we have:
6.74% of 77.36=5.214064
