What is 62.75 percent of 144.79 - 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 144.79 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 144.79 is 100%, so we can write it down as 144.79=100%.
4. We know, that x is 62.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 144.79=100%
2) x=62.75%
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:
144.79/x=100%/62.75%
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 62.75% of 144.79

144.79/x=100/62.75
(144.79/x)*x=(100/62.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
144.79=1.593625498008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.593625498008) to get x
144.79/1.593625498008=x
90.855725=x
x=90.855725

now we have:
62.75% of 144.79=90.855725
