What is 2.35 percent of 732.76 - 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 732.76 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 732.76 is 100%, so we can write it down as 732.76=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 732.76=100%
2) x=2.35%
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:
732.76/x=100%/2.35%
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 2.35% of 732.76

732.76/x=100/2.35
(732.76/x)*x=(100/2.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
732.76=42.553191489362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.553191489362) to get x
732.76/42.553191489362=x
17.21986=x
x=17.21986

now we have:
2.35% of 732.76=17.21986
