123.95 is what percent of 133.87 - 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 133.87 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 133.87, so we can write it down as 100%=133.87.
4. We know, that x% equals 123.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=123.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=133.87
2) x%=123.95
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%=133.87/123.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 123.95 is what percent of 133.87

100%/x%=133.87/123.95
(100/x)*x=(133.87/123.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.080032271077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.080032271077) to get x
100/1.080032271077=x
92.589825950549=x
x=92.589825950549

now we have:
123.95 is 92.589825950549% of 133.87
