What is 71.5 percent of 107.47 - 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 107.47 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 107.47 is 100%, so we can write it down as 107.47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 71.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=71.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 107.47=100%
2) x=71.5%
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:
107.47/x=100%/71.5%
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 71.5% of 107.47

107.47/x=100/71.5
(107.47/x)*x=(100/71.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
107.47=1.3986013986014*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3986013986014) to get x
107.47/1.3986013986014=x
76.84105=x
x=76.84105

now we have:
71.5% of 107.47=76.84105
