What is 75.4 percent of 370 - 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 370 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 370 is 100%, so we can write it down as 370=100%.
4. We know, that x is 75.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=75.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 370=100%
2) x=75.4%
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:
370/x=100%/75.4%
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 75.4% of 370

370/x=100/75.4
(370/x)*x=(100/75.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
370=1.3262599469496*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3262599469496) to get x
370/1.3262599469496=x
278.98=x
x=278.98

now we have:
75.4% of 370=278.98
