109.95 is what percent of 76.97 - 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 76.97 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 76.97, so we can write it down as 100%=76.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 109.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=109.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=76.97
2) x%=109.95
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%=76.97/109.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 109.95 is what percent of 76.97

100%/x%=76.97/109.95
(100/x)*x=(76.97/109.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.70004547521601*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.70004547521601) to get x
100/0.70004547521601=x
142.84786280369=x
x=142.84786280369

now we have:
109.95 is 142.84786280369% of 76.97
