What is 29.3 percent of 790 - 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 790 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 790 is 100%, so we can write it down as 790=100%.
4. We know, that x is 29.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=29.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 790=100%
2) x=29.3%
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:
790/x=100%/29.3%
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 29.3% of 790

790/x=100/29.3
(790/x)*x=(100/29.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
790=3.4129692832765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4129692832765) to get x
790/3.4129692832765=x
231.47=x
x=231.47

now we have:
29.3% of 790=231.47
