What is 42.39 percent of 650 - 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 650 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 650 is 100%, so we can write it down as 650=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.39% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.39%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 650=100%
2) x=42.39%
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:
650/x=100%/42.39%
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 42.39% of 650

650/x=100/42.39
(650/x)*x=(100/42.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
650=2.3590469450342*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3590469450342) to get x
650/2.3590469450342=x
275.535=x
x=275.535

now we have:
42.39% of 650=275.535
