What is 995 percent of 739 - 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 739 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 739 is 100%, so we can write it down as 739=100%.
4. We know, that x is 995% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=995%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 739=100%
2) x=995%
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:
739/x=100%/995%
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 995% of 739

739/x=100/995
(739/x)*x=(100/995)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
739=0.10050251256281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.10050251256281) to get x
739/0.10050251256281=x
7353.05=x
x=7353.05

now we have:
995% of 739=7353.05
