What is 7.49 percent of 73.84 - 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 73.84 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 73.84 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73.84=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.49%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 73.84=100%
2) x=7.49%
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:
73.84/x=100%/7.49%
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 7.49% of 73.84

73.84/x=100/7.49
(73.84/x)*x=(100/7.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73.84=13.351134846462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.351134846462) to get x
73.84/13.351134846462=x
5.530616=x
x=5.530616

now we have:
7.49% of 73.84=5.530616
