10 is what percent of 98.25 - 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 98.25 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 98.25, so we can write it down as 100%=98.25.
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%=98.25
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%=98.25/10
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 98.25

100%/x%=98.25/10
(100/x)*x=(98.25/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.825*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.825) to get x
100/9.825=x
10.178117048346=x
x=10.178117048346

now we have:
10 is 10.178117048346% of 98.25
