What is 528 percent of 72 - 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 72 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 72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 528% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=528%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 72=100%
2) x=528%
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:
72/x=100%/528%
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 528% of 72

72/x=100/528
(72/x)*x=(100/528)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
72=0.18939393939394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.18939393939394) to get x
72/0.18939393939394=x
380.16=x
x=380.16

now we have:
528% of 72=380.16
