What is 88.13 percent of 124 - 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 124 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 124 is 100%, so we can write it down as 124=100%.
4. We know, that x is 88.13% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=88.13%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 124=100%
2) x=88.13%
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:
124/x=100%/88.13%
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 88.13% of 124

124/x=100/88.13
(124/x)*x=(100/88.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
124=1.1346873936231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1346873936231) to get x
124/1.1346873936231=x
109.2812=x
x=109.2812

now we have:
88.13% of 124=109.2812
