What is 117 percent of 696 - 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 696 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 696 is 100%, so we can write it down as 696=100%.
4. We know, that x is 117% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=117%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 696=100%
2) x=117%
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:
696/x=100%/117%
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 117% of 696

696/x=100/117
(696/x)*x=(100/117)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
696=0.85470085470085*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.85470085470085) to get x
696/0.85470085470085=x
814.32=x
x=814.32

now we have:
117% of 696=814.32
