What is 74.8 percent of 900 - 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 900 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 900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 900=100%
2) x=74.8%
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:
900/x=100%/74.8%
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 74.8% of 900

900/x=100/74.8
(900/x)*x=(100/74.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
900=1.3368983957219*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3368983957219) to get x
900/1.3368983957219=x
673.2=x
x=673.2

now we have:
74.8% of 900=673.2
