What is 77.33 percent of 120 - 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 120 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 120 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120=100%.
4. We know, that x is 77.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=77.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120=100%
2) x=77.33%
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:
120/x=100%/77.33%
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 77.33% of 120

120/x=100/77.33
(120/x)*x=(100/77.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120=1.293159187896*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.293159187896) to get x
120/1.293159187896=x
92.796=x
x=92.796

now we have:
77.33% of 120=92.796
