108.9 is what percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100, so we can write it down as 100%=100.
4. We know, that x% equals 108.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=108.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100
2) x%=108.9
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%=100/108.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 108.9 is what percent of 100

100%/x%=100/108.9
(100/x)*x=(100/108.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.91827364554637*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91827364554637) to get x
100/0.91827364554637=x
108.9=x
x=108.9

now we have:
108.9 is 108.9% of 100
