What is 69.99 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 69.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=69.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7=100%
2) x=69.99%
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%/69.99%
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 69.99% of 7

7/x=100/69.99
(7/x)*x=(100/69.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7=1.4287755393628*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4287755393628) to get x
7/1.4287755393628=x
4.8993=x
x=4.8993

now we have:
69.99% of 7=4.8993
