What is 6900 percent of 1242 - 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 1242 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 1242 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1242=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6900% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6900%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1242=100%
2) x=6900%
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:
1242/x=100%/6900%
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 6900% of 1242

1242/x=100/6900
(1242/x)*x=(100/6900)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1242=0.014492753623188*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.014492753623188) to get x
1242/0.014492753623188=x
85698=x
x=85698

now we have:
6900% of 1242=85698
