1170.47 is what percent of 1055 - 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 1055 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 1055, so we can write it down as 100%=1055.
4. We know, that x% equals 1170.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1170.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1055
2) x%=1170.47
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%=1055/1170.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1170.47 is what percent of 1055

100%/x%=1055/1170.47
(100/x)*x=(1055/1170.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.90134732201594*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.90134732201594) to get x
100/0.90134732201594=x
110.94502369668=x
x=110.94502369668

now we have:
1170.47 is 110.94502369668% of 1055
