What is 89.85 percent of 118.36 - 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 118.36 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 118.36 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118.36=100%.
4. We know, that x is 89.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=89.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118.36=100%
2) x=89.85%
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:
118.36/x=100%/89.85%
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 89.85% of 118.36

118.36/x=100/89.85
(118.36/x)*x=(100/89.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
118.36=1.1129660545353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1129660545353) to get x
118.36/1.1129660545353=x
106.34646=x
x=106.34646

now we have:
89.85% of 118.36=106.34646
