What is 738 percent of 144 - 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 144 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 144 is 100%, so we can write it down as 144=100%.
4. We know, that x is 738% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=738%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 144=100%
2) x=738%
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:
144/x=100%/738%
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 738% of 144

144/x=100/738
(144/x)*x=(100/738)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
144=0.13550135501355*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.13550135501355) to get x
144/0.13550135501355=x
1062.72=x
x=1062.72

now we have:
738% of 144=1062.72
