What is 79.31 percent of 73.1 - 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 73.1 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 73.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 79.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=79.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 73.1=100%
2) x=79.31%
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:
73.1/x=100%/79.31%
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 79.31% of 73.1

73.1/x=100/79.31
(73.1/x)*x=(100/79.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73.1=1.2608750472828*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2608750472828) to get x
73.1/1.2608750472828=x
57.97561=x
x=57.97561

now we have:
79.31% of 73.1=57.97561
