What is 79.95 percent of 59.99 - 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 59.99 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 59.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 79.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=79.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59.99=100%
2) x=79.95%
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:
59.99/x=100%/79.95%
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 79.95% of 59.99

59.99/x=100/79.95
(59.99/x)*x=(100/79.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59.99=1.2507817385866*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2507817385866) to get x
59.99/1.2507817385866=x
47.962005=x
x=47.962005

now we have:
79.95% of 59.99=47.962005
