What is 88.431 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 88.431% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=88.431%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100=100%
2) x=88.431%
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%/88.431%
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 88.431% of 100

100/x=100/88.431
(100/x)*x=(100/88.431)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1308251631215*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1308251631215) to get x
100/1.1308251631215=x
88.431=x
x=88.431

now we have:
88.431% of 100=88.431
