What is 66.69 percent of 120 - 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 120 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 120 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120=100%.
4. We know, that x is 66.69% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=66.69%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120=100%
2) x=66.69%
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:
120/x=100%/66.69%
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 66.69% of 120

120/x=100/66.69
(120/x)*x=(100/66.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120=1.4994751836857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4994751836857) to get x
120/1.4994751836857=x
80.028=x
x=80.028

now we have:
66.69% of 120=80.028
