103.3 is what percent of 118.09 - 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 118.09 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 118.09, so we can write it down as 100%=118.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 103.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=103.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=118.09
2) x%=103.3
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%=118.09/103.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 103.3 is what percent of 118.09

100%/x%=118.09/103.3
(100/x)*x=(118.09/103.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1431752178122*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1431752178122) to get x
100/1.1431752178122=x
87.47565416208=x
x=87.47565416208

now we have:
103.3 is 87.47565416208% of 118.09
