What is 1004 percent of 958 - 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 958 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 958 is 100%, so we can write it down as 958=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1004% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1004%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 958=100%
2) x=1004%
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:
958/x=100%/1004%
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 1004% of 958

958/x=100/1004
(958/x)*x=(100/1004)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
958=0.099601593625498*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.099601593625498) to get x
958/0.099601593625498=x
9618.32=x
x=9618.32

now we have:
1004% of 958=9618.32
