What is 59.74 percent of 845 - 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 845 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 845 is 100%, so we can write it down as 845=100%.
4. We know, that x is 59.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=59.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 845=100%
2) x=59.74%
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:
845/x=100%/59.74%
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 59.74% of 845

845/x=100/59.74
(845/x)*x=(100/59.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
845=1.6739203213927*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6739203213927) to get x
845/1.6739203213927=x
504.803=x
x=504.803

now we have:
59.74% of 845=504.803
