What is 84 percent of 767 - 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 767 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 767 is 100%, so we can write it down as 767=100%.
4. We know, that x is 84% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=84%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 767=100%
2) x=84%
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:
767/x=100%/84%
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 84% of 767

767/x=100/84
(767/x)*x=(100/84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
767=1.1904761904762*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1904761904762) to get x
767/1.1904761904762=x
644.28=x
x=644.28

now we have:
84% of 767=644.28
