What is 42.859 percent of 700000 - 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 700000 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 700000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 700000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.859% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.859%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 700000=100%
2) x=42.859%
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:
700000/x=100%/42.859%
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 42.859% of 700000

700000/x=100/42.859
(700000/x)*x=(100/42.859)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
700000=2.3332322266035*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3332322266035) to get x
700000/2.3332322266035=x
300013=x
x=300013

now we have:
42.859% of 700000=300013
