0.91 is what percent of 0.77 - 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 0.77 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 0.77, so we can write it down as 100%=0.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.77
2) x%=0.91
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%=0.77/0.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.91 is what percent of 0.77

100%/x%=0.77/0.91
(100/x)*x=(0.77/0.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.84615384615385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.84615384615385) to get x
100/0.84615384615385=x
118.18181818182=x
x=118.18181818182

now we have:
0.91 is 118.18181818182% of 0.77
