What is 747 percent of 855 - 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 855 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 855 is 100%, so we can write it down as 855=100%.
4. We know, that x is 747% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=747%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 855=100%
2) x=747%
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:
855/x=100%/747%
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 747% of 855

855/x=100/747
(855/x)*x=(100/747)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
855=0.1338688085676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1338688085676) to get x
855/0.1338688085676=x
6386.85=x
x=6386.85

now we have:
747% of 855=6386.85
