What is 6.75 percent of 20.97 - 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 20.97 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 20.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.97=100%
2) x=6.75%
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:
20.97/x=100%/6.75%
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 6.75% of 20.97

20.97/x=100/6.75
(20.97/x)*x=(100/6.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.97=14.814814814815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.814814814815) to get x
20.97/14.814814814815=x
1.415475=x
x=1.415475

now we have:
6.75% of 20.97=1.415475
