What is 69.75 percent of 71 - 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 71 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 71 is 100%, so we can write it down as 71=100%.
4. We know, that x is 69.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=69.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 71=100%
2) x=69.75%
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:
71/x=100%/69.75%
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 69.75% of 71

71/x=100/69.75
(71/x)*x=(100/69.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
71=1.4336917562724*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4336917562724) to get x
71/1.4336917562724=x
49.5225=x
x=49.5225

now we have:
69.75% of 71=49.5225
