What is 710 percent of 5872 - 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 5872 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 5872 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5872=100%.
4. We know, that x is 710% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=710%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5872=100%
2) x=710%
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:
5872/x=100%/710%
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 710% of 5872

5872/x=100/710
(5872/x)*x=(100/710)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5872=0.14084507042254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.14084507042254) to get x
5872/0.14084507042254=x
41691.2=x
x=41691.2

now we have:
710% of 5872=41691.2
