I am going to show you two different ways.


With a calculator you change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.


146 / 100 = 1.46


1.46 is the multiplier to use. Now, put the following calculating into the calculator.


700 x 1.46 = 1022.


Without a calculator you will need to calculate 46% of 700. You can do this by building up.


Find 10% of 700 by dividing by 10. This equals to 70.


4 x 10% = 40%, we multiply 70 by 4 to find 40%.


70 x 4 = 280


Next we need to find 6%

To find 1% we divide by 100

To find 5%, we half the value of 10%. We could also divide the value by 20.


So,


1% of 700 = 7

5% of 700 = 1/2 of 70 = 35


Add 1% and 5% together give 42.


Now, we add it all together with the 700.


700+42+280 = 1022.

What we start with is the full amount, so it's 100%.

100% = 700

10% = 70, so 40% = 4 x 70 = 280

1% = 7, so 6% = 6 x 7 = 42


146% = 100% + 40% + 7% = 700 + 280 + 42 = 1022


There are many ways to get the answer

step one , turn 146 into a decimal ( divide by 100)

this = 1.46

next you times 1.46 by 700 this would = 1022

700 is 100% of the number, so we first divide by 100 to find the vale of 1%:


700 ÷ 100 = 7.


We want to find 146% so we multiply our answer by 146:


7 x 146 = 1022

Dividing 700 by 100 would reveal that 1% would be 7. Now that we know what 1% is, we can find out what 46% is by multiplying 7 which is 1% by 46, this would equal to 7x46= 322(46%).

Now that we know that 100% is 700,we can add the 46% which is 322 to find out what 146% is. 700+322=1022

So we have found what 146% of 700 is,it is 1022.

This question looks like a calculator question and the easiest hack to find any percentage of anything on a calculator is to locate the % button, on my calculator its found by pressing 'shift' then 'ans' , yours may be different but it will be in yellow above one of the buttons meaning you will need to press shift before it.


In maths whenever you see the word 'of' you need to multiply.


So 146% of 700 means 146% x 700


using my calculator i would type :


146 'shift' 'ans' x 700 =


then my answer would be 1022

Since a percenatge is a number expressed as a fraction of 100 we can use it multiply it by 700 to see what 147% of 700 is.

in short, we shall replace the question into to our equation in the following way,

in place of

what, How = x

% = 1/100

of = X

is/was/are/were= '=symbol'


146% of 700 is the question so we shall replace it with our equation format

146X 1/100 X 700 = 1022

First turn the 146% into a decimal (divide by 100). This would equal 1.46.


Then times that 1.46 by 700.


1.46 X 700 = 1022

700 is the whole number you're working from, so that's 100%. So,

100% = 700

10% = 70

1% = 7


You can use these assumptions to work out the extra 46%. 40% is the same as saying 4x10% and 6% is 6x1%. So,

40% = 4x70 = 280

6% = 6x7 = 42


By adding them together we can find the full 146% we need.

146% = 100% + 40% + 6%

146% = 700 + 280 + 42 = 1022


Hope this helps! :)

Firstly, we need to find out what 1% of 700 is. 1% of 700 is 7. We need to find out what 146% of 700 is, and we know that 1% is 7; so, we have to multiply 7 by 146 in order to get 146%. 7 x 146 = 1022. Therefore, 146% of 700 = 1022.
