0.91 is what percent of 17.12 - 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 17.12 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 17.12, so we can write it down as 100%=17.12.
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%=17.12
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%=17.12/0.91
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 17.12

100%/x%=17.12/0.91
(100/x)*x=(17.12/0.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.813186813187*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.813186813187) to get x
100/18.813186813187=x
5.3154205607477=x
x=5.3154205607477

now we have:
0.91 is 5.3154205607477% of 17.12
