0.83 is what percent of 111 - 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 111 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 100% equals 111, so we can write it down as 100%=111.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=111
2) x%=0.83
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:
100%/x%=111/0.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.83 is what percent of 111

100%/x%=111/0.83
(100/x)*x=(111/0.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=133.73493975904*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (133.73493975904) to get x
100/133.73493975904=x
0.74774774774775=x
x=0.74774774774775

now we have:
0.83 is 0.74774774774775% of 111
