103.6 is what percent of 114.6 - 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 114.6 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 114.6, so we can write it down as 100%=114.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 103.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=103.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=114.6
2) x%=103.6
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%=114.6/103.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 103.6 is what percent of 114.6

100%/x%=114.6/103.6
(100/x)*x=(114.6/103.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1061776061776*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1061776061776) to get x
100/1.1061776061776=x
90.401396160558=x
x=90.401396160558

now we have:
103.6 is 90.401396160558% of 114.6
