117675.9 is what percent of 100000 - 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 100000 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 100000, so we can write it down as 100%=100000.
4. We know, that x% equals 117675.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=117675.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100000
2) x%=117675.9
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%=100000/117675.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 117675.9 is what percent of 100000

100%/x%=100000/117675.9
(100/x)*x=(100000/117675.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.84979167357122*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.84979167357122) to get x
100/0.84979167357122=x
117.6759=x
x=117.6759

now we have:
117675.9 is 117.6759% of 100000
