2.09 is what percent of 1.99 - 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 1.99 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 1.99, so we can write it down as 100%=1.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.99
2) x%=2.09
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%=1.99/2.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.09 is what percent of 1.99

100%/x%=1.99/2.09
(100/x)*x=(1.99/2.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.95215311004785*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.95215311004785) to get x
100/0.95215311004785=x
105.02512562814=x
x=105.02512562814

now we have:
2.09 is 105.02512562814% of 1.99
