What is 0.98647 percent of 118 - 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 118 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 118 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.98647% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.98647%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118=100%
2) x=0.98647%
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:
118/x=100%/0.98647%
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 0.98647% of 118

118/x=100/0.98647
(118/x)*x=(100/0.98647)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
118=101.37155716849*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (101.37155716849) to get x
118/101.37155716849=x
1.1640346=x
x=1.1640346

now we have:
0.98647% of 118=1.1640346
