What is 88.74 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 88.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=88.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100=100%
2) x=88.74%
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%/88.74%
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 88.74% of 100

100/x=100/88.74
(100/x)*x=(100/88.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1268875366238*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1268875366238) to get x
100/1.1268875366238=x
88.74=x
x=88.74

now we have:
88.74% of 100=88.74
