What is 545 percent of 740 - 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 740 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 740 is 100%, so we can write it down as 740=100%.
4. We know, that x is 545% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=545%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 740=100%
2) x=545%
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:
740/x=100%/545%
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 545% of 740

740/x=100/545
(740/x)*x=(100/545)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
740=0.18348623853211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.18348623853211) to get x
740/0.18348623853211=x
4033=x
x=4033

now we have:
545% of 740=4033
