23.95 is what percent of 28.95 - 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 28.95 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 28.95, so we can write it down as 100%=28.95.
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%=28.95
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%=28.95/23.95
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 28.95

100%/x%=28.95/23.95
(100/x)*x=(28.95/23.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2087682672234*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2087682672234) to get x
100/1.2087682672234=x
82.72884283247=x
x=82.72884283247

now we have:
23.95 is 82.72884283247% of 28.95
