What is 137 percent of 700 - 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 700 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 700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 137% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=137%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 700=100%
2) x=137%
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:
700/x=100%/137%
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 137% of 700

700/x=100/137
(700/x)*x=(100/137)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
700=0.72992700729927*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.72992700729927) to get x
700/0.72992700729927=x
959=x
x=959

now we have:
137% of 700=959
