23.95 is what percent of 25.95 - 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 25.95 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 25.95, so we can write it down as 100%=25.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.95
2) x%=23.95
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%=25.95/23.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.95 is what percent of 25.95

100%/x%=25.95/23.95
(100/x)*x=(25.95/23.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0835073068894*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0835073068894) to get x
100/1.0835073068894=x
92.292870905588=x
x=92.292870905588

now we have:
23.95 is 92.292870905588% of 25.95
