What is 6.94 percent of 1040 - 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 1040 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 1040 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1040=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1040=100%
2) x=6.94%
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:
1040/x=100%/6.94%
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 6.94% of 1040

1040/x=100/6.94
(1040/x)*x=(100/6.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1040=14.409221902017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.409221902017) to get x
1040/14.409221902017=x
72.176=x
x=72.176

now we have:
6.94% of 1040=72.176
