What is 99.3 percent of 1246 - 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 1246 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 1246 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1246=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1246=100%
2) x=99.3%
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:
1246/x=100%/99.3%
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 99.3% of 1246

1246/x=100/99.3
(1246/x)*x=(100/99.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1246=1.0070493454179*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0070493454179) to get x
1246/1.0070493454179=x
1237.278=x
x=1237.278

now we have:
99.3% of 1246=1237.278
