What is 76 percent of 302 - 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 302 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 302 is 100%, so we can write it down as 302=100%.
4. We know, that x is 76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 302=100%
2) x=76%
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:
302/x=100%/76%
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 76% of 302

302/x=100/76
(302/x)*x=(100/76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
302=1.3157894736842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3157894736842) to get x
302/1.3157894736842=x
229.52=x
x=229.52

now we have:
76% of 302=229.52
