What is 82.38 percent of 704 - 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 704 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 704 is 100%, so we can write it down as 704=100%.
4. We know, that x is 82.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=82.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 704=100%
2) x=82.38%
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:
704/x=100%/82.38%
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 82.38% of 704

704/x=100/82.38
(704/x)*x=(100/82.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
704=1.2138868657441*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2138868657441) to get x
704/1.2138868657441=x
579.9552=x
x=579.9552

now we have:
82.38% of 704=579.9552
