What is 66.375 percent of 116 - 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 116 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 116 is 100%, so we can write it down as 116=100%.
4. We know, that x is 66.375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=66.375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 116=100%
2) x=66.375%
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:
116/x=100%/66.375%
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 66.375% of 116

116/x=100/66.375
(116/x)*x=(100/66.375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
116=1.5065913370998*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5065913370998) to get x
116/1.5065913370998=x
76.995=x
x=76.995

now we have:
66.375% of 116=76.995
