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)

First of all, break the 146% down into 100%, 40%, and 6%. The 100% part is the 700. Then to get the 40% we would do (700/10) x 4 = 280. Then to find the 6% we would do (700/100) x 6 = 42. Once the three have been worked out, all that is left is to add them up. 700 + 280 + 42 = 1022

The thing with percentages is that it is always calculated in hundreds. Another thing that applies to all percentages is that it can be turned into decimals. Just put a 0. in front of it (Unless it is more than 100%)!

1 = 100%

0.75 = 75%

0.91 = 91%

1.36 = 136%

See the correlation? Therefore...

146% is 1.46

In this case, 700 (dependent number) = 100%

146% of 700 is...

1.46 x 700 = 1.46 x 700 = 1022

Divide 700 by 100 and then multiply by 146. This way you are first finding one percent and then finding 146 percent

Hi, I look forward to learning together in a relaxed yet effective way

With any thing to do with percentages, it is really useful to consider how percentages and decimals are related. So if we start at understanding that 100% is the same as one whole so can also be written as 1.00. From this we can see that if we divide any percentage by 100, we get the decimal equivalent. So 50% would be 0.5 as a decimal (50/100 = 0.5), 37% would be 0.37 (37/100 = 0.37), and 112% would be 1.12 (112/100 = 1.12).


So if we take this idea and look at the question. We can find 146% of 700 easily just by multiplying 700 with the decimal version of 146%. 146/100 = 1.46 so this is the decimal conversion. We then do 1.46 ร— 700 = 1022.


Hopefully this helps with your question!
