What is 95.74 percent of 117.88 - 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 117.88 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 117.88 is 100%, so we can write it down as 117.88=100%.
4. We know, that x is 95.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=95.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 117.88=100%
2) x=95.74%
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:
117.88/x=100%/95.74%
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 95.74% of 117.88

117.88/x=100/95.74
(117.88/x)*x=(100/95.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
117.88=1.0444955086693*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0444955086693) to get x
117.88/1.0444955086693=x
112.858312=x
x=112.858312

now we have:
95.74% of 117.88=112.858312
