What is 7% of 7,000?

490

1. We assume, that the number 7000 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 7000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7000=100%.

4. We know, that x is 7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 7000=100%

2) x=7%

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:

7000/x=100%/7%

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 7% of 7000

7000/x=100/7

(7000/x) * x = (100/7) * x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

7000=14.2857142857*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.2857142857) to get x

7000/14.2857142857=x

490=x

x=490

now we have:

7% of 7000=490

7 % of 7,000 is 490.
