What is 134.5 percent of 74.3 - 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 74.3 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 74.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 134.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=134.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74.3=100%
2) x=134.5%
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:
74.3/x=100%/134.5%
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 134.5% of 74.3

74.3/x=100/134.5
(74.3/x)*x=(100/134.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74.3=0.74349442379182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.74349442379182) to get x
74.3/0.74349442379182=x
99.9335=x
x=99.9335

now we have:
134.5% of 74.3=99.9335
