What is 118 percent of 713 - 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 713 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 713 is 100%, so we can write it down as 713=100%.
4. We know, that x is 118% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=118%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 713=100%
2) x=118%
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:
713/x=100%/118%
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 118% of 713

713/x=100/118
(713/x)*x=(100/118)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
713=0.84745762711864*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.84745762711864) to get x
713/0.84745762711864=x
841.34=x
x=841.34

now we have:
118% of 713=841.34
