What is 66.6 percent of 984 - 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 984 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 984 is 100%, so we can write it down as 984=100%.
4. We know, that x is 66.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=66.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 984=100%
2) x=66.6%
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:
984/x=100%/66.6%
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 66.6% of 984

984/x=100/66.6
(984/x)*x=(100/66.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
984=1.5015015015015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5015015015015) to get x
984/1.5015015015015=x
655.344=x
x=655.344

now we have:
66.6% of 984=655.344
