119.32 is what percent of 96.73 - 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 96.73 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 96.73, so we can write it down as 100%=96.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 119.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=119.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=96.73
2) x%=119.32
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%=96.73/119.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 119.32 is what percent of 96.73

100%/x%=96.73/119.32
(100/x)*x=(96.73/119.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.81067717063359*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.81067717063359) to get x
100/0.81067717063359=x
123.35366484028=x
x=123.35366484028

now we have:
119.32 is 123.35366484028% of 96.73
