What is 246 percent of 296 - 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 296 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 296 is 100%, so we can write it down as 296=100%.
4. We know, that x is 246% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=246%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 296=100%
2) x=246%
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:
296/x=100%/246%
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 246% of 296

296/x=100/246
(296/x)*x=(100/246)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
296=0.40650406504065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.40650406504065) to get x
296/0.40650406504065=x
728.16=x
x=728.16

now we have:
246% of 296=728.16
