1194.33 is what percent of 971 - 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 971 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 971, so we can write it down as 100%=971.
4. We know, that x% equals 1194.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1194.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=971
2) x%=1194.33
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%=971/1194.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1194.33 is what percent of 971

100%/x%=971/1194.33
(100/x)*x=(971/1194.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.8130081300813*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.8130081300813) to get x
100/0.8130081300813=x
123=x
x=123

now we have:
1194.33 is 123% of 971
