80.94 is what percent of 119 - 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 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 119, so we can write it down as 100%=119.
4. We know, that x% equals 80.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=119
2) x%=80.94
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%=119/80.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80.94 is what percent of 119

100%/x%=119/80.94
(100/x)*x=(119/80.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4702248579194*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4702248579194) to get x
100/1.4702248579194=x
68.016806722689=x
x=68.016806722689

now we have:
80.94 is 68.016806722689% of 119
