What is 96 percent of 602.88 - 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 602.88 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 602.88 is 100%, so we can write it down as 602.88=100%.
4. We know, that x is 96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 602.88=100%
2) x=96%
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:
602.88/x=100%/96%
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 96% of 602.88

602.88/x=100/96
(602.88/x)*x=(100/96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
602.88=1.0416666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0416666666667) to get x
602.88/1.0416666666667=x
578.7648=x
x=578.7648

now we have:
96% of 602.88=578.7648
