What is 6.794 percent of 617 - 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 617 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 617 is 100%, so we can write it down as 617=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.794% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.794%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 617=100%
2) x=6.794%
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:
617/x=100%/6.794%
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 6.794% of 617

617/x=100/6.794
(617/x)*x=(100/6.794)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
617=14.718869590815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.718869590815) to get x
617/14.718869590815=x
41.91898=x
x=41.91898

now we have:
6.794% of 617=41.91898
