10 is what percent of 913 - 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 913 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 913, so we can write it down as 100%=913.
4. We know, that x% equals 10 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=913
2) x%=10
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%=913/10
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10 is what percent of 913

100%/x%=913/10
(100/x)*x=(913/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=91.3*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (91.3) to get x
100/91.3=x
1.0952902519168=x
x=1.0952902519168

now we have:
10 is 1.0952902519168% of 913
