What is 740 percent of 0.99 - 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 0.99 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 0.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 740% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=740%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.99=100%
2) x=740%
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:
0.99/x=100%/740%
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 740% of 0.99

0.99/x=100/740
(0.99/x)*x=(100/740)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.99=0.13513513513514*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.13513513513514) to get x
0.99/0.13513513513514=x
7.326=x
x=7.326

now we have:
740% of 0.99=7.326
