What is 89.34 percent of 23.9 - 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 23.9 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 23.9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23.9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 89.34% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=89.34%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23.9=100%
2) x=89.34%
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:
23.9/x=100%/89.34%
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 89.34% of 23.9

23.9/x=100/89.34
(23.9/x)*x=(100/89.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23.9=1.1193194537721*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1193194537721) to get x
23.9/1.1193194537721=x
21.35226=x
x=21.35226

now we have:
89.34% of 23.9=21.35226
