What is 7.47 percent of 1999 - 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 1999 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 1999 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1999=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1999=100%
2) x=7.47%
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:
1999/x=100%/7.47%
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 7.47% of 1999

1999/x=100/7.47
(1999/x)*x=(100/7.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1999=13.38688085676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.38688085676) to get x
1999/13.38688085676=x
149.3253=x
x=149.3253

now we have:
7.47% of 1999=149.3253
