What is 7.425 percent of 102.9 - 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 102.9 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 102.9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 102.9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.425% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.425%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 102.9=100%
2) x=7.425%
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:
102.9/x=100%/7.425%
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 7.425% of 102.9

102.9/x=100/7.425
(102.9/x)*x=(100/7.425)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
102.9=13.468013468013*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.468013468013) to get x
102.9/13.468013468013=x
7.640325=x
x=7.640325

now we have:
7.425% of 102.9=7.640325
