1.02 is what percent of 10.203 - 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 10.203 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 10.203, so we can write it down as 100%=10.203.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.203
2) x%=1.02
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%=10.203/1.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.02 is what percent of 10.203

100%/x%=10.203/1.02
(100/x)*x=(10.203/1.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.002941176471*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.002941176471) to get x
100/10.002941176471=x
9.997059688327=x
x=9.997059688327

now we have:
1.02 is 9.997059688327% of 10.203
