1 is what percent of 895 - 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 895 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 895, so we can write it down as 100%=895.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=895
2) x%=1
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%=895/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 895

100%/x%=895/1
(100/x)*x=(895/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=895*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (895) to get x
100/895=x
0.11173184357542=x
x=0.11173184357542

now we have:
1 is 0.11173184357542% of 895
