What is 67.2 percent of 785 - 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 785 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 785 is 100%, so we can write it down as 785=100%.
4. We know, that x is 67.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=67.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 785=100%
2) x=67.2%
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:
785/x=100%/67.2%
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 67.2% of 785

785/x=100/67.2
(785/x)*x=(100/67.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
785=1.4880952380952*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4880952380952) to get x
785/1.4880952380952=x
527.52=x
x=527.52

now we have:
67.2% of 785=527.52
