What is 6.9 percent of 53815.31 - 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 53815.31 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 53815.31 is 100%, so we can write it down as 53815.31=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 53815.31=100%
2) x=6.9%
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:
53815.31/x=100%/6.9%
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 6.9% of 53815.31

53815.31/x=100/6.9
(53815.31/x)*x=(100/6.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
53815.31=14.492753623188*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.492753623188) to get x
53815.31/14.492753623188=x
3713.25639=x
x=3713.25639

now we have:
