What is 63.68 percent of 73.99 - 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 73.99 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 73.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 63.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=63.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 73.99=100%
2) x=63.68%
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:
73.99/x=100%/63.68%
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 63.68% of 73.99

73.99/x=100/63.68
(73.99/x)*x=(100/63.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73.99=1.570351758794*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.570351758794) to get x
73.99/1.570351758794=x
47.116832=x
x=47.116832

now we have:
63.68% of 73.99=47.116832
