What is 6.97 percent of 11840 - 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 11840 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 11840 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11840=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11840=100%
2) x=6.97%
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:
11840/x=100%/6.97%
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 6.97% of 11840

11840/x=100/6.97
(11840/x)*x=(100/6.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11840=14.347202295552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.347202295552) to get x
11840/14.347202295552=x
825.248=x
x=825.248

now we have:
6.97% of 11840=825.248
