What is 1.789 percent of 72798 - 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 72798 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 72798 is 100%, so we can write it down as 72798=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.789% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.789%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 72798=100%
2) x=1.789%
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:
72798/x=100%/1.789%
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 1.789% of 72798

72798/x=100/1.789
(72798/x)*x=(100/1.789)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
72798=55.897149245388*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (55.897149245388) to get x
72798/55.897149245388=x
1302.35622=x
x=1302.35622

now we have:
1.789% of 72798=1302.35622
