What is 6.97 percent of 300 - 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 300 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 300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 300=100%
2) x=6.97%
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:
300/x=100%/6.97%
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 6.97% of 300

300/x=100/6.97
(300/x)*x=(100/6.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
300=14.347202295552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.347202295552) to get x
300/14.347202295552=x
20.91=x
x=20.91

now we have:
6.97% of 300=20.91
