What is 6 percent of 14000000 - 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 14000000 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 14000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14000000=100%
2) x=6%
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:
14000000/x=100%/6%
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 6% of 14000000

14000000/x=100/6
(14000000/x)*x=(100/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14000000=16.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.666666666667) to get x
14000000/16.666666666667=x
840000=x
x=840000

now we have:
6% of 14000000=840000
