What is 124.2 percent of 99.36 - 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 99.36 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 99.36 is 100%, so we can write it down as 99.36=100%.
4. We know, that x is 124.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=124.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 99.36=100%
2) x=124.2%
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:
99.36/x=100%/124.2%
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 124.2% of 99.36

99.36/x=100/124.2
(99.36/x)*x=(100/124.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
99.36=0.80515297906602*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.80515297906602) to get x
99.36/0.80515297906602=x
123.40512=x
x=123.40512

now we have:
124.2% of 99.36=123.40512
