113.5 is what percent of 124.12 - 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 124.12 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 124.12, so we can write it down as 100%=124.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 113.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=113.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=124.12
2) x%=113.5
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%=124.12/113.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 113.5 is what percent of 124.12

100%/x%=124.12/113.5
(100/x)*x=(124.12/113.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0935682819383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0935682819383) to get x
100/1.0935682819383=x
91.443764099259=x
x=91.443764099259

now we have:
113.5 is 91.443764099259% of 124.12
