What is 9 percent of 700 - 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 700 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 700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 700=100%
2) x=9%
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:
700/x=100%/9%
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% of 700

700/x=100/9
(700/x)*x=(100/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
700=11.1111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.1111111111) to get x
700/11.1111111111=x
63=x
x=63

now we have:
9% of 700=63
