What is 69.98 percent of 120 - 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 120 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 120 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120=100%.
4. We know, that x is 69.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=69.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120=100%
2) x=69.98%
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:
120/x=100%/69.98%
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 69.98% of 120

120/x=100/69.98
(120/x)*x=(100/69.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120=1.4289797084881*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4289797084881) to get x
120/1.4289797084881=x
83.976=x
x=83.976

now we have:
69.98% of 120=83.976
