What is 84.77 percent of 144.5 - 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 144.5 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 144.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 144.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 84.77% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=84.77%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 144.5=100%
2) x=84.77%
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:
144.5/x=100%/84.77%
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 84.77% of 144.5

144.5/x=100/84.77
(144.5/x)*x=(100/84.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
144.5=1.1796626164917*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1796626164917) to get x
144.5/1.1796626164917=x
122.49265=x
x=122.49265

now we have:
84.77% of 144.5=122.49265
