203 is what percent of 23 - 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 23 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 23, so we can write it down as 100%=23.
4. We know, that x% equals 203 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=203.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23
2) x%=203
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%=23/203
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 203 is what percent of 23

100%/x%=23/203
(100/x)*x=(23/203)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.11330049261084*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11330049261084) to get x
100/0.11330049261084=x
882.60869565217=x
x=882.60869565217

now we have:
203 is 882.60869565217% of 23
