What is 99999 percent of 97 - 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 97 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 97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 97=100%
2) x=99999%
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:
97/x=100%/99999%
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 99999% of 97

97/x=100/99999
(97/x)*x=(100/99999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
97=0.0010000100001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0010000100001) to get x
97/0.0010000100001=x
96999.03=x
x=96999.03

now we have:
99999% of 97=96999.03
