What is 15.37 percent of 710.5 - 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 710.5 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 710.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 710.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.37% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.37%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 710.5=100%
2) x=15.37%
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:
710.5/x=100%/15.37%
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 15.37% of 710.5

710.5/x=100/15.37
(710.5/x)*x=(100/15.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
710.5=6.5061808718282*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5061808718282) to get x
710.5/6.5061808718282=x
109.20385=x
x=109.20385

now we have:
15.37% of 710.5=109.20385
