0.96 is what percent of 0.01 - 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 0.01 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 0.01, so we can write it down as 100%=0.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.01
2) x%=0.96
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%=0.01/0.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.96 is what percent of 0.01

100%/x%=0.01/0.96
(100/x)*x=(0.01/0.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.010416666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.010416666666667) to get x
100/0.010416666666667=x
9600=x
x=9600

now we have:
0.96 is 9600% of 0.01
