What is 689 percent of 775 - 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 775 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 775 is 100%, so we can write it down as 775=100%.
4. We know, that x is 689% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=689%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 775=100%
2) x=689%
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:
775/x=100%/689%
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 689% of 775

775/x=100/689
(775/x)*x=(100/689)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
775=0.14513788098694*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.14513788098694) to get x
775/0.14513788098694=x
5339.75=x
x=5339.75

now we have:
689% of 775=5339.75
