What is 99.8 percent of 1355 - 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 1355 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 1355 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1355=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1355=100%
2) x=99.8%
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:
1355/x=100%/99.8%
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 99.8% of 1355

1355/x=100/99.8
(1355/x)*x=(100/99.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1355=1.002004008016*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.002004008016) to get x
1355/1.002004008016=x
1352.29=x
x=1352.29

now we have:
99.8% of 1355=1352.29
