What is 40.78 percent of 734 - 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 734 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 734 is 100%, so we can write it down as 734=100%.
4. We know, that x is 40.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 734=100%
2) x=40.78%
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:
734/x=100%/40.78%
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 40.78% of 734

734/x=100/40.78
(734/x)*x=(100/40.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
734=2.4521824423737*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4521824423737) to get x
734/2.4521824423737=x
299.3252=x
x=299.3252

now we have:
40.78% of 734=299.3252
