What is 70 percent of 855.05 - 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 855.05 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 855.05 is 100%, so we can write it down as 855.05=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 855.05=100%
2) x=70%
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:
855.05/x=100%/70%
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 70% of 855.05

855.05/x=100/70
(855.05/x)*x=(100/70)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
855.05=1.4285714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4285714285714) to get x
855.05/1.4285714285714=x
598.535=x
x=598.535

now we have:
70% of 855.05=598.535
