What is 119.5 percent of 74.5 - 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 74.5 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 74.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 119.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=119.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74.5=100%
2) x=119.5%
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:
74.5/x=100%/119.5%
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 119.5% of 74.5

74.5/x=100/119.5
(74.5/x)*x=(100/119.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74.5=0.83682008368201*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.83682008368201) to get x
74.5/0.83682008368201=x
89.0275=x
x=89.0275

now we have:
119.5% of 74.5=89.0275
