What is 1.295 percent of 714 - 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 714 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 714 is 100%, so we can write it down as 714=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.295% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.295%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 714=100%
2) x=1.295%
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:
714/x=100%/1.295%
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 1.295% of 714

714/x=100/1.295
(714/x)*x=(100/1.295)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
714=77.220077220077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (77.220077220077) to get x
714/77.220077220077=x
9.2463=x
x=9.2463

now we have:
1.295% of 714=9.2463
