What is 85.88 percent of 110 - 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 110 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 110 is 100%, so we can write it down as 110=100%.
4. We know, that x is 85.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=85.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 110=100%
2) x=85.88%
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:
110/x=100%/85.88%
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 85.88% of 110

110/x=100/85.88
(110/x)*x=(100/85.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
110=1.1644154634374*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1644154634374) to get x
110/1.1644154634374=x
94.468=x
x=94.468

now we have:
85.88% of 110=94.468
