100.67 is what percent of 116 - 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 116 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 116, so we can write it down as 100%=116.
4. We know, that x% equals 100.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=100.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=116
2) x%=100.67
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%=116/100.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 100.67 is what percent of 116

100%/x%=116/100.67
(100/x)*x=(116/100.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1522797258369*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1522797258369) to get x
100/1.1522797258369=x
86.784482758621=x
x=86.784482758621

now we have:
100.67 is 86.784482758621% of 116
