What is 70.94 percent of 74 - 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 74 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 74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 70.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=70.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74=100%
2) x=70.94%
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:
74/x=100%/70.94%
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 70.94% of 74

74/x=100/70.94
(74/x)*x=(100/70.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74=1.4096419509445*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4096419509445) to get x
74/1.4096419509445=x
52.4956=x
x=52.4956

now we have:
70.94% of 74=52.4956
