What is 75.36 percent of 116 - 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 116 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 116 is 100%, so we can write it down as 116=100%.
4. We know, that x is 75.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=75.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 116=100%
2) x=75.36%
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:
116/x=100%/75.36%
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 75.36% of 116

116/x=100/75.36
(116/x)*x=(100/75.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
116=1.3269639065817*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3269639065817) to get x
116/1.3269639065817=x
87.4176=x
x=87.4176

now we have:
75.36% of 116=87.4176
