What is 877 percent of 797 - 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 797 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 797 is 100%, so we can write it down as 797=100%.
4. We know, that x is 877% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=877%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 797=100%
2) x=877%
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:
797/x=100%/877%
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 877% of 797

797/x=100/877
(797/x)*x=(100/877)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
797=0.11402508551881*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11402508551881) to get x
797/0.11402508551881=x
6989.69=x
x=6989.69

now we have:
877% of 797=6989.69
