What is 70.42 percent of 1691 - 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 1691 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 1691 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1691=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70.42% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70.42%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1691=100%
2) x=70.42%
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:
1691/x=100%/70.42%
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 70.42% of 1691

1691/x=100/70.42
(1691/x)*x=(100/70.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1691=1.4200511218404*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4200511218404) to get x
1691/1.4200511218404=x
1190.8022=x
x=1190.8022

now we have:
70.42% of 1691=1190.8022
