1011 is what percent of 997 - 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 997 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 997, so we can write it down as 100%=997.
4. We know, that x% equals 1011 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1011.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=997
2) x%=1011
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%=997/1011
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1011 is what percent of 997

100%/x%=997/1011
(100/x)*x=(997/1011)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98615232443126*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98615232443126) to get x
100/0.98615232443126=x
101.40421263791=x
x=101.40421263791

now we have:
1011 is 101.40421263791% of 997
