What is 70.56 percent of 720 - 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 720 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 720 is 100%, so we can write it down as 720=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 720=100%
2) x=70.56%
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:
720/x=100%/70.56%
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 70.56% of 720

720/x=100/70.56
(720/x)*x=(100/70.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
720=1.4172335600907*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4172335600907) to get x
720/1.4172335600907=x
508.032=x
x=508.032

now we have:
70.56% of 720=508.032
