What is 9.99 percent of 6.97 - 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 6.97 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 6.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.97=100%
2) x=9.99%
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:
6.97/x=100%/9.99%
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 9.99% of 6.97

6.97/x=100/9.99
(6.97/x)*x=(100/9.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.97=10.01001001001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.01001001001) to get x
6.97/10.01001001001=x
0.696303=x
x=0.696303

now we have:
9.99% of 6.97=0.696303
