What is 9.5 percent of 699.99 - 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 699.99 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 699.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 699.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 699.99=100%
2) x=9.5%
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:
699.99/x=100%/9.5%
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 9.5% of 699.99

699.99/x=100/9.5
(699.99/x)*x=(100/9.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
699.99=10.526315789474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.526315789474) to get x
699.99/10.526315789474=x
66.49905=x
x=66.49905

now we have:
9.5% of 699.99=66.49905
