What is 65 percent of 735.35 - 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 735.35 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 735.35 is 100%, so we can write it down as 735.35=100%.
4. We know, that x is 65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 735.35=100%
2) x=65%
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:
735.35/x=100%/65%
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 65% of 735.35

735.35/x=100/65
(735.35/x)*x=(100/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
735.35=1.5384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5384615384615) to get x
735.35/1.5384615384615=x
477.9775=x
x=477.9775

now we have:
65% of 735.35=477.9775
