112.97 is what percent of 900 - 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 900 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 900, so we can write it down as 100%=900.
4. We know, that x% equals 112.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=112.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=900
2) x%=112.97
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%=900/112.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 112.97 is what percent of 900

100%/x%=900/112.97
(100/x)*x=(900/112.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.9667168274763*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9667168274763) to get x
100/7.9667168274763=x
12.552222222222=x
x=12.552222222222

now we have:
112.97 is 12.552222222222% of 900
