What is 70.74 percent of 1.162 - 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 1.162 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 1.162 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.162=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.162=100%
2) x=70.74%
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:
1.162/x=100%/70.74%
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 70.74% of 1.162

1.162/x=100/70.74
(1.162/x)*x=(100/70.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.162=1.4136273678258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4136273678258) to get x
1.162/1.4136273678258=x
0.8219988=x
x=0.8219988

now we have:
70.74% of 1.162=0.8219988
