23.6 is what percent of 23.60023 - 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 23.60023 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 23.60023, so we can write it down as 100%=23.60023.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.60023
2) x%=23.6
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%=23.60023/23.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.6 is what percent of 23.60023

100%/x%=23.60023/23.6
(100/x)*x=(23.60023/23.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0000097457627*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0000097457627) to get x
100/1.0000097457627=x
99.999025433227=x
x=99.999025433227

now we have:
23.6 is 99.999025433227% of 23.60023
