What is 100.3 percent of 855 - 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 855 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 855 is 100%, so we can write it down as 855=100%.
4. We know, that x is 100.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=100.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 855=100%
2) x=100.3%
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:
855/x=100%/100.3%
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 100.3% of 855

855/x=100/100.3
(855/x)*x=(100/100.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
855=0.99700897308076*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.99700897308076) to get x
855/0.99700897308076=x
857.565=x
x=857.565

now we have:
100.3% of 855=857.565
