What is 95 percent of 105.8 - 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 105.8 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 105.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 105.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 105.8=100%
2) x=95%
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:
105.8/x=100%/95%
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 95% of 105.8

105.8/x=100/95
(105.8/x)*x=(100/95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
105.8=1.0526315789474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0526315789474) to get x
105.8/1.0526315789474=x
100.51=x
x=100.51

now we have:
95% of 105.8=100.51
