What is 74.1 percent of 123.75 - 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 123.75 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 123.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 123.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 123.75=100%
2) x=74.1%
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:
123.75/x=100%/74.1%
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 74.1% of 123.75

123.75/x=100/74.1
(123.75/x)*x=(100/74.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
123.75=1.3495276653171*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3495276653171) to get x
123.75/1.3495276653171=x
91.69875=x
x=91.69875

now we have:
74.1% of 123.75=91.69875
