What is 75.7 percent of 34.99 - 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 34.99 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 34.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 34.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 75.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=75.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 34.99=100%
2) x=75.7%
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:
34.99/x=100%/75.7%
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 75.7% of 34.99

34.99/x=100/75.7
(34.99/x)*x=(100/75.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
34.99=1.3210039630119*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3210039630119) to get x
34.99/1.3210039630119=x
26.48743=x
x=26.48743

now we have:
75.7% of 34.99=26.48743
