What is 99.85 percent of 672 - 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 672 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 672 is 100%, so we can write it down as 672=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 672=100%
2) x=99.85%
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:
672/x=100%/99.85%
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 99.85% of 672

672/x=100/99.85
(672/x)*x=(100/99.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
672=1.0015022533801*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0015022533801) to get x
672/1.0015022533801=x
670.992=x
x=670.992

now we have:
99.85% of 672=670.992
