What is 72.95 percent of 99.18 - 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 99.18 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 99.18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 99.18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 72.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=72.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 99.18=100%
2) x=72.95%
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:
99.18/x=100%/72.95%
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 72.95% of 99.18

99.18/x=100/72.95
(99.18/x)*x=(100/72.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
99.18=1.3708019191227*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3708019191227) to get x
99.18/1.3708019191227=x
72.35181=x
x=72.35181

now we have:
72.95% of 99.18=72.35181
