What is 7.3 percent of 6808 - 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 6808 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 6808 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6808=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6808=100%
2) x=7.3%
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:
6808/x=100%/7.3%
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 7.3% of 6808

6808/x=100/7.3
(6808/x)*x=(100/7.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6808=13.698630136986*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.698630136986) to get x
6808/13.698630136986=x
496.984=x
x=496.984

now we have:
7.3% of 6808=496.984
