What is 70.73 percent of 164 - 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 164 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 164 is 100%, so we can write it down as 164=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 164=100%
2) x=70.73%
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:
164/x=100%/70.73%
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 70.73% of 164

164/x=100/70.73
(164/x)*x=(100/70.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
164=1.4138272303125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4138272303125) to get x
164/1.4138272303125=x
115.9972=x
x=115.9972

now we have:
70.73% of 164=115.9972
