What is 90 percent of 67.77 - 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 67.77 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 67.77 is 100%, so we can write it down as 67.77=100%.
4. We know, that x is 90% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=90%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 67.77=100%
2) x=90%
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:
67.77/x=100%/90%
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 90% of 67.77

67.77/x=100/90
(67.77/x)*x=(100/90)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
67.77=1.1111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1111111111111) to get x
67.77/1.1111111111111=x
60.993=x
x=60.993

now we have:
90% of 67.77=60.993
