What is 67.4 percent of 491.271 - 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 491.271 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 491.271 is 100%, so we can write it down as 491.271=100%.
4. We know, that x is 67.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=67.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 491.271=100%
2) x=67.4%
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:
491.271/x=100%/67.4%
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 67.4% of 491.271

491.271/x=100/67.4
(491.271/x)*x=(100/67.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
491.271=1.4836795252226*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4836795252226) to get x
491.271/1.4836795252226=x
331.116654=x
x=331.116654

now we have:
