What is 99.495 percent of 1000.4 - 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 1000.4 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 1000.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.495% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.495%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1000.4=100%
2) x=99.495%
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:
1000.4/x=100%/99.495%
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 99.495% of 1000.4

1000.4/x=100/99.495
(1000.4/x)*x=(100/99.495)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1000.4=1.0050756319413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0050756319413) to get x
1000.4/1.0050756319413=x
995.34798=x
x=995.34798

now we have:
99.495% of 1000.4=995.34798
