1073 is what percent of 950 - 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 950 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 950, so we can write it down as 100%=950.
4. We know, that x% equals 1073 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1073.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=950
2) x%=1073
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%=950/1073
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1073 is what percent of 950

100%/x%=950/1073
(100/x)*x=(950/1073)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.88536812674744*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.88536812674744) to get x
100/0.88536812674744=x
112.94736842105=x
x=112.94736842105

now we have:
1073 is 112.94736842105% of 950
