What is 0.98 percent of 748 - 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 748 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 748 is 100%, so we can write it down as 748=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 748=100%
2) x=0.98%
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:
748/x=100%/0.98%
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 0.98% of 748

748/x=100/0.98
(748/x)*x=(100/0.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
748=102.040816327*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (102.040816327) to get x
748/102.040816327=x
7.3304=x
x=7.3304

now we have:
0.98% of 748=7.3304
