What is 99.5 percent of 1169 - 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 1169 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 1169 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1169=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1169=100%
2) x=99.5%
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:
1169/x=100%/99.5%
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 99.5% of 1169

1169/x=100/99.5
(1169/x)*x=(100/99.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1169=1.0050251256281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0050251256281) to get x
1169/1.0050251256281=x
1163.155=x
x=1163.155

now we have:
99.5% of 1169=1163.155
