What is 702 percent of 708 - 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 708 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 708 is 100%, so we can write it down as 708=100%.
4. We know, that x is 702% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=702%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 708=100%
2) x=702%
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:
708/x=100%/702%
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 702% of 708

708/x=100/702
(708/x)*x=(100/702)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
708=0.14245014245014*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.14245014245014) to get x
708/0.14245014245014=x
4970.16=x
x=4970.16

now we have:
702% of 708=4970.16
