23.63 is what percent of 21.6 - 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 21.6 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 21.6, so we can write it down as 100%=21.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21.6
2) x%=23.63
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%=21.6/23.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.63 is what percent of 21.6

100%/x%=21.6/23.63
(100/x)*x=(21.6/23.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.91409225560728*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91409225560728) to get x
100/0.91409225560728=x
109.39814814815=x
x=109.39814814815

now we have:
23.63 is 109.39814814815% of 21.6
