What is 71.97 percent of 119.95 - 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 119.95 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 119.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 119.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 71.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=71.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 119.95=100%
2) x=71.97%
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:
119.95/x=100%/71.97%
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 71.97% of 119.95

119.95/x=100/71.97
(119.95/x)*x=(100/71.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
119.95=1.3894678338196*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3894678338196) to get x
119.95/1.3894678338196=x
86.328015=x
x=86.328015

now we have:
71.97% of 119.95=86.328015
