What is 700 percent of 55.7 - 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 55.7 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 55.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 700% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=700%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55.7=100%
2) x=700%
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:
55.7/x=100%/700%
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 700% of 55.7

55.7/x=100/700
(55.7/x)*x=(100/700)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55.7=0.14285714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.14285714285714) to get x
55.7/0.14285714285714=x
389.9=x
x=389.9

now we have:
700% of 55.7=389.9
