What is 6.82 percent of 56.82 - 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 56.82 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 56.82 is 100%, so we can write it down as 56.82=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.82% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.82%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 56.82=100%
2) x=6.82%
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:
56.82/x=100%/6.82%
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 6.82% of 56.82

56.82/x=100/6.82
(56.82/x)*x=(100/6.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
56.82=14.66275659824*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.66275659824) to get x
56.82/14.66275659824=x
3.875124=x
x=3.875124

now we have:
6.82% of 56.82=3.875124
