What is 28.9 percent of 770 - 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 770 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 770 is 100%, so we can write it down as 770=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 770=100%
2) x=28.9%
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:
770/x=100%/28.9%
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 28.9% of 770

770/x=100/28.9
(770/x)*x=(100/28.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
770=3.4602076124567*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4602076124567) to get x
770/3.4602076124567=x
222.53=x
x=222.53

now we have:
28.9% of 770=222.53
