What is 725 percent of 49.99 - 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 49.99 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 49.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 49.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 725% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=725%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 49.99=100%
2) x=725%
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:
49.99/x=100%/725%
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 725% of 49.99

49.99/x=100/725
(49.99/x)*x=(100/725)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
49.99=0.13793103448276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.13793103448276) to get x
49.99/0.13793103448276=x
362.4275=x
x=362.4275

now we have:
725% of 49.99=362.4275
