What is 89.74 percent of 80000 - 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 80000 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 80000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 80000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 89.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=89.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 80000=100%
2) x=89.74%
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:
80000/x=100%/89.74%
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 89.74% of 80000

80000/x=100/89.74
(80000/x)*x=(100/89.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
80000=1.1143302874972*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1143302874972) to get x
80000/1.1143302874972=x
71792=x
x=71792

now we have:
89.74% of 80000=71792
