127.95 is what percent of 960 - 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 960 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 960, so we can write it down as 100%=960.
4. We know, that x% equals 127.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=127.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=960
2) x%=127.95
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%=960/127.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 127.95 is what percent of 960

100%/x%=960/127.95
(100/x)*x=(960/127.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5029308323564*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5029308323564) to get x
100/7.5029308323564=x
13.328125=x
x=13.328125

now we have:
127.95 is 13.328125% of 960
