What is 91 percent of 791 - 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 791 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 791 is 100%, so we can write it down as 791=100%.
4. We know, that x is 91% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=91%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 791=100%
2) x=91%
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:
791/x=100%/91%
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 91% of 791

791/x=100/91
(791/x)*x=(100/91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
791=1.0989010989011*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0989010989011) to get x
791/1.0989010989011=x
719.81=x
x=719.81

now we have:
91% of 791=719.81
