2.26 is what percent of 2.32 - 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 2.32 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 2.32, so we can write it down as 100%=2.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.32
2) x%=2.26
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%=2.32/2.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.26 is what percent of 2.32

100%/x%=2.32/2.26
(100/x)*x=(2.32/2.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0265486725664*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0265486725664) to get x
100/1.0265486725664=x
97.413793103448=x
x=97.413793103448

now we have:
2.26 is 97.413793103448% of 2.32
