What is 15.99 percent of 760.22 - 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 760.22 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 760.22 is 100%, so we can write it down as 760.22=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 760.22=100%
2) x=15.99%
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:
760.22/x=100%/15.99%
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 15.99% of 760.22

760.22/x=100/15.99
(760.22/x)*x=(100/15.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
760.22=6.25390869293*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.25390869293) to get x
760.22/6.25390869293=x
121.559178=x
x=121.559178

now we have:
15.99% of 760.22=121.559178
