105.6 is what percent of 73 - 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 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 73, so we can write it down as 100%=73.
4. We know, that x% equals 105.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=105.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73
2) x%=105.6
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%=73/105.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 105.6 is what percent of 73

100%/x%=73/105.6
(100/x)*x=(73/105.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.69128787878788*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.69128787878788) to get x
100/0.69128787878788=x
144.65753424658=x
x=144.65753424658

now we have:
105.6 is 144.65753424658% of 73
