What is 7.34 percent of 119.72 - 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 119.72 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 119.72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 119.72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.34% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.34%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 119.72=100%
2) x=7.34%
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:
119.72/x=100%/7.34%
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 7.34% of 119.72

119.72/x=100/7.34
(119.72/x)*x=(100/7.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
119.72=13.623978201635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.623978201635) to get x
119.72/13.623978201635=x
8.787448=x
x=8.787448

now we have:
7.34% of 119.72=8.787448
