0.73 is what percent of 88.84 - 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 88.84 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 100% equals 88.84, so we can write it down as 100%=88.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=88.84
2) x%=0.73
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:
100%/x%=88.84/0.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.73 is what percent of 88.84

100%/x%=88.84/0.73
(100/x)*x=(88.84/0.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=121.69863013699*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (121.69863013699) to get x
100/121.69863013699=x
0.82170193606484=x
x=0.82170193606484

now we have:
0.73 is 0.82170193606484% of 88.84
