What is 88.89 percent of 127 - 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 127 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 127 is 100%, so we can write it down as 127=100%.
4. We know, that x is 88.89% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=88.89%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 127=100%
2) x=88.89%
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:
127/x=100%/88.89%
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 88.89% of 127

127/x=100/88.89
(127/x)*x=(100/88.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
127=1.1249859376758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1249859376758) to get x
127/1.1249859376758=x
112.8903=x
x=112.8903

now we have:
88.89% of 127=112.8903
