What is 74.85 percent of 424.15 - 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 424.15 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 424.15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 424.15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 424.15=100%
2) x=74.85%
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:
424.15/x=100%/74.85%
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 74.85% of 424.15

424.15/x=100/74.85
(424.15/x)*x=(100/74.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
424.15=1.3360053440214*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3360053440214) to get x
424.15/1.3360053440214=x
317.476275=x
x=317.476275

now we have:
74.85% of 424.15=317.476275
