If 100% of 700 is 700, we know that 146% will be higher than 700. To find this out the easiest way would be to find what 1% of 700 is and times that by 146. If we divide 700 by 100 this should give us 7, which is 1%, then times this by 146 and the answer will be 1022 - 146% of 700.

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

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.

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

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.

700*1.46 = 1022


146% as a decimal is 1.46 (just divide 146% by 100) so you can just multiply 700 by 1.46 to find 146% of 700.

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

146% of 700


146/100 x 700


You can cancel out the 100 and 700 and so you get 146 x 7 which is 1022


Or


You can divide 146 by 100 to get 1.46 and multiply that by 700 to get 1022

700*1.46 = 1022


700 is the total amount so represent as 100%, then we need to add 46% to this, so 700*1.46.


1.46 represents 146% in decimal form.

700/100x146=1022 or you could say 100% = 700. So you need to find 46% then add the 2 amounts together. 700/100= 7x46=322. 700+322=1022

  1. Convert 146% to a decimal. This will give you 1.46
  2. Times the decimal by 700. So, 700 x 1.46 = 1022

The word percentage means to divide (per) by 100 (century) so to find a percentage of any number it is useful to first change the percentage into a fraction so the division is clear. In this case 146/100 x 700. Now we can simplify the denominator (100) and numerator (700). 100 goes into 700, 7 times. Our new calculation is now 146 x 7. So the final answer is 1022. There are other ways of finding a percentage of a number. It is a good idea to make sure you find one that makes most sense to you.

100% is already known , it is 700. 10% of 700 is 70. Times 70 by 4, which is 280 for 40%. 5 percent is 700 is 70/2 which is 35. 1 percent is 7. Add 700+280+35+7, which gives you 1022, which is the answer. (so we broke down the 146 percentage into 100%, 40%,5% and 1%, and when added together it will give the right answer)
