121.5 is what percent of 1113.25 - 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 1113.25 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 1113.25, so we can write it down as 100%=1113.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 121.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=121.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1113.25
2) x%=121.5
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%=1113.25/121.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 121.5 is what percent of 1113.25

100%/x%=1113.25/121.5
(100/x)*x=(1113.25/121.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.1625514403292*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.1625514403292) to get x
100/9.1625514403292=x
10.913990568156=x
x=10.913990568156

now we have:
121.5 is 10.913990568156% of 1113.25
