What is 72.43 percent of 111.72 - 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 111.72 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 111.72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 111.72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 72.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=72.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 111.72=100%
2) x=72.43%
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:
111.72/x=100%/72.43%
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 72.43% of 111.72

111.72/x=100/72.43
(111.72/x)*x=(100/72.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
111.72=1.380643379815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.380643379815) to get x
111.72/1.380643379815=x
80.918796=x
x=80.918796

now we have:
72.43% of 111.72=80.918796
