What is 962 percent of 7400 - 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 7400 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 7400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 962% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=962%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7400=100%
2) x=962%
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:
7400/x=100%/962%
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 962% of 7400

7400/x=100/962
(7400/x)*x=(100/962)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7400=0.1039501039501*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1039501039501) to get x
7400/0.1039501039501=x
71188=x
x=71188

now we have:
962% of 7400=71188
