113.1 is what percent of 128.3 - 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 128.3 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 128.3, so we can write it down as 100%=128.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 113.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=113.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=128.3
2) x%=113.1
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%=128.3/113.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 113.1 is what percent of 128.3

100%/x%=128.3/113.1
(100/x)*x=(128.3/113.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1343943412909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1343943412909) to get x
100/1.1343943412909=x
88.152766952455=x
x=88.152766952455

now we have:
113.1 is 88.152766952455% of 128.3
