What is 6.85 percent of 10000000 - 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 10000000 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 10000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10000000=100%
2) x=6.85%
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:
10000000/x=100%/6.85%
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 6.85% of 10000000

10000000/x=100/6.85
(10000000/x)*x=(100/6.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10000000=14.598540145985*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.598540145985) to get x
10000000/14.598540145985=x
685000=x
x=685000

now we have:
6.85% of 10000000=685000
