What is 13.5 percent of 698.71 - 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 698.71 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 698.71 is 100%, so we can write it down as 698.71=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 698.71=100%
2) x=13.5%
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:
698.71/x=100%/13.5%
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 13.5% of 698.71

698.71/x=100/13.5
(698.71/x)*x=(100/13.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
698.71=7.4074074074074*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4074074074074) to get x
698.71/7.4074074074074=x
94.32585=x
x=94.32585

now we have:
13.5% of 698.71=94.32585
