What is 67.4 percent of 156 - 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 156 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 156 is 100%, so we can write it down as 156=100%.
4. We know, that x is 67.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=67.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 156=100%
2) x=67.4%
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:
156/x=100%/67.4%
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 67.4% of 156

156/x=100/67.4
(156/x)*x=(100/67.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
156=1.4836795252226*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4836795252226) to get x
156/1.4836795252226=x
105.144=x
x=105.144

now we have:
67.4% of 156=105.144
