1.06 is what percent of 21.84 - 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 21.84 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 21.84, so we can write it down as 100%=21.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21.84
2) x%=1.06
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%=21.84/1.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.06 is what percent of 21.84

100%/x%=21.84/1.06
(100/x)*x=(21.84/1.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.603773584906*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.603773584906) to get x
100/20.603773584906=x
4.8534798534799=x
x=4.8534798534799

now we have:
1.06 is 4.8534798534799% of 21.84
