What is 98.15 percent of 109000 - 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 109000 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 109000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 109000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 98.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 109000=100%
2) x=98.15%
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:
109000/x=100%/98.15%
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 98.15% of 109000

109000/x=100/98.15
(109000/x)*x=(100/98.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
109000=1.0188487009679*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0188487009679) to get x
109000/1.0188487009679=x
106983.5=x
x=106983.5

now we have:
98.15% of 109000=106983.5
