What is 89.19 percent of 74 - 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 74 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 74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 89.19% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=89.19%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74=100%
2) x=89.19%
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:
74/x=100%/89.19%
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 89.19% of 74

74/x=100/89.19
(74/x)*x=(100/89.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74=1.1212019284673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1212019284673) to get x
74/1.1212019284673=x
66.0006=x
x=66.0006

now we have:
89.19% of 74=66.0006
