What is 45 percent of 177.75 - 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 177.75 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 177.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 177.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 177.75=100%
2) x=45%
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:
177.75/x=100%/45%
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 45% of 177.75

177.75/x=100/45
(177.75/x)*x=(100/45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
177.75=2.2222222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2222222222222) to get x
177.75/2.2222222222222=x
79.9875=x
x=79.9875

now we have:
45% of 177.75=79.9875
