What is 99.73 percent of 119.99 - 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 119.99 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 119.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 119.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 119.99=100%
2) x=99.73%
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:
119.99/x=100%/99.73%
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 99.73% of 119.99

119.99/x=100/99.73
(119.99/x)*x=(100/99.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
119.99=1.0027073097363*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0027073097363) to get x
119.99/1.0027073097363=x
119.666027=x
x=119.666027

now we have:
99.73% of 119.99=119.666027
