What is 95.55555 percent of 120 - 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 120 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 120 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120=100%.
4. We know, that x is 95.55555% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=95.55555%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120=100%
2) x=95.55555%
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:
120/x=100%/95.55555%
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 95.55555% of 120

120/x=100/95.55555
(120/x)*x=(100/95.55555)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120=1.0465116887507*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0465116887507) to get x
120/1.0465116887507=x
114.66666=x
x=114.66666

now we have:
95.55555% of 120=114.66666
