What is 7.66 percent of 559 - 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 559 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 559 is 100%, so we can write it down as 559=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.66% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.66%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 559=100%
2) x=7.66%
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:
559/x=100%/7.66%
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 7.66% of 559

559/x=100/7.66
(559/x)*x=(100/7.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
559=13.054830287206*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.054830287206) to get x
559/13.054830287206=x
42.8194=x
x=42.8194

now we have:
7.66% of 559=42.8194
