What is 74.625 percent of 597 - 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 597 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 597 is 100%, so we can write it down as 597=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 597=100%
2) x=74.625%
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:
597/x=100%/74.625%
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 74.625% of 597

597/x=100/74.625
(597/x)*x=(100/74.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
597=1.3400335008375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3400335008375) to get x
597/1.3400335008375=x
445.51125=x
x=445.51125

now we have:
74.625% of 597=445.51125
