What is 85.19 percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 85.19% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=85.19%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100=100%
2) x=85.19%
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:
100/x=100%/85.19%
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 85.19% of 100

100/x=100/85.19
(100/x)*x=(100/85.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1738466956216*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1738466956216) to get x
100/1.1738466956216=x
85.19=x
x=85.19

now we have:
85.19% of 100=85.19
