What is 71.75 percent of 92.5 - 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 92.5 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 92.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 92.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 71.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=71.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 92.5=100%
2) x=71.75%
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:
92.5/x=100%/71.75%
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 71.75% of 92.5

92.5/x=100/71.75
(92.5/x)*x=(100/71.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
92.5=1.3937282229965*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3937282229965) to get x
92.5/1.3937282229965=x
66.36875=x
x=66.36875

now we have:
71.75% of 92.5=66.36875
