What is 55.56 percent of 134.975 - 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 134.975 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 134.975 is 100%, so we can write it down as 134.975=100%.
4. We know, that x is 55.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=55.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 134.975=100%
2) x=55.56%
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:
134.975/x=100%/55.56%
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 55.56% of 134.975

134.975/x=100/55.56
(134.975/x)*x=(100/55.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
134.975=1.7998560115191*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7998560115191) to get x
134.975/1.7998560115191=x
74.99211=x
x=74.99211

now we have:
55.56% of 134.975=74.99211
