What is 73.4 percent of 693 - 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 693 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 693 is 100%, so we can write it down as 693=100%.
4. We know, that x is 73.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=73.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 693=100%
2) x=73.4%
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:
693/x=100%/73.4%
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 73.4% of 693

693/x=100/73.4
(693/x)*x=(100/73.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
693=1.3623978201635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3623978201635) to get x
693/1.3623978201635=x
508.662=x
x=508.662

now we have:
73.4% of 693=508.662
