What is 1.34 percent of 755 - 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 755 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 755 is 100%, so we can write it down as 755=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.34% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.34%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 755=100%
2) x=1.34%
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:
755/x=100%/1.34%
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 1.34% of 755

755/x=100/1.34
(755/x)*x=(100/1.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
755=74.626865671642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (74.626865671642) to get x
755/74.626865671642=x
10.117=x
x=10.117

now we have:
1.34% of 755=10.117
