What is 54.72 percent of 144 - 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 144 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 144 is 100%, so we can write it down as 144=100%.
4. We know, that x is 54.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=54.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 144=100%
2) x=54.72%
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:
144/x=100%/54.72%
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 54.72% of 144

144/x=100/54.72
(144/x)*x=(100/54.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
144=1.827485380117*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.827485380117) to get x
144/1.827485380117=x
78.7968=x
x=78.7968

now we have:
54.72% of 144=78.7968
