What is 111 percent of 88.8 - 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 88.8 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 88.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 88.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 111% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=111%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 88.8=100%
2) x=111%
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:
88.8/x=100%/111%
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 111% of 88.8

88.8/x=100/111
(88.8/x)*x=(100/111)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
88.8=0.9009009009009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.9009009009009) to get x
88.8/0.9009009009009=x
98.568=x
x=98.568

now we have:
111% of 88.8=98.568
