110.3 is what percent of 129.4 - 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 129.4 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 129.4, so we can write it down as 100%=129.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 110.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=110.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=129.4
2) x%=110.3
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%=129.4/110.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 110.3 is what percent of 129.4

100%/x%=129.4/110.3
(100/x)*x=(129.4/110.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1731640979148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1731640979148) to get x
100/1.1731640979148=x
85.239567233385=x
x=85.239567233385

now we have:
110.3 is 85.239567233385% of 129.4
