What is 57.25 percent of 696 - 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 696 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 696 is 100%, so we can write it down as 696=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 696=100%
2) x=57.25%
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:
696/x=100%/57.25%
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 57.25% of 696

696/x=100/57.25
(696/x)*x=(100/57.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
696=1.74672489083*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.74672489083) to get x
696/1.74672489083=x
398.46=x
x=398.46

now we have:
57.25% of 696=398.46
