What is 69.54 percent of 118 - 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 118 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 118 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118=100%.
4. We know, that x is 69.54% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=69.54%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118=100%
2) x=69.54%
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:
118/x=100%/69.54%
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 69.54% of 118

118/x=100/69.54
(118/x)*x=(100/69.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
118=1.438021282715*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.438021282715) to get x
118/1.438021282715=x
82.0572=x
x=82.0572

now we have:
69.54% of 118=82.0572
