What is 9.75 percent of 731.99 - 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 731.99 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 731.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 731.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 731.99=100%
2) x=9.75%
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:
731.99/x=100%/9.75%
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 9.75% of 731.99

731.99/x=100/9.75
(731.99/x)*x=(100/9.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
731.99=10.25641025641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.25641025641) to get x
731.99/10.25641025641=x
71.369025=x
x=71.369025

now we have:
9.75% of 731.99=71.369025
