What is 99.6 percent of 575000 - 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 575000 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 575000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 575000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 575000=100%
2) x=99.6%
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:
575000/x=100%/99.6%
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 99.6% of 575000

575000/x=100/99.6
(575000/x)*x=(100/99.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
575000=1.004016064257*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.004016064257) to get x
575000/1.004016064257=x
572700=x
x=572700

now we have:
99.6% of 575000=572700
