What is 69.8 percent of 7 - 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 7 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 7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 69.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=69.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7=100%
2) x=69.8%
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:
7/x=100%/69.8%
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 69.8% of 7

7/x=100/69.8
(7/x)*x=(100/69.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7=1.432664756447*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.432664756447) to get x
7/1.432664756447=x
4.886=x
x=4.886

now we have:
69.8% of 7=4.886
