94.79 is what percent of 140.99 - 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 140.99 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 100% equals 140.99, so we can write it down as 100%=140.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=140.99
2) x%=94.79
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%=140.99/94.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.79 is what percent of 140.99

100%/x%=140.99/94.79
(100/x)*x=(140.99/94.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4873931849351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4873931849351) to get x
100/1.4873931849351=x
67.2317185616=x
x=67.2317185616

now we have:
94.79 is 67.2317185616% of 140.99
