What is 7.41 percent of 870 - 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 870 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 870 is 100%, so we can write it down as 870=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.41% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.41%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 870=100%
2) x=7.41%
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:
870/x=100%/7.41%
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 7.41% of 870

870/x=100/7.41
(870/x)*x=(100/7.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
870=13.495276653171*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.495276653171) to get x
870/13.495276653171=x
64.467=x
x=64.467

now we have:
7.41% of 870=64.467
