106.7 is what percent of 283 - 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 283 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 283, so we can write it down as 100%=283.
4. We know, that x% equals 106.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=106.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=283
2) x%=106.7
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%=283/106.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 106.7 is what percent of 283

100%/x%=283/106.7
(100/x)*x=(283/106.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6522961574508*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6522961574508) to get x
100/2.6522961574508=x
37.703180212014=x
x=37.703180212014

now we have:
106.7 is 37.703180212014% of 283
