What is 82.42 percent of 634 - 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 634 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 634 is 100%, so we can write it down as 634=100%.
4. We know, that x is 82.42% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=82.42%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 634=100%
2) x=82.42%
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:
634/x=100%/82.42%
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 82.42% of 634

634/x=100/82.42
(634/x)*x=(100/82.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
634=1.2132977432662*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2132977432662) to get x
634/1.2132977432662=x
522.5428=x
x=522.5428

now we have:
82.42% of 634=522.5428
