230.99 is what percent of 923.95 - 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 923.95 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 923.95, so we can write it down as 100%=923.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 230.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=230.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=923.95
2) x%=230.99
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%=923.95/230.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 230.99 is what percent of 923.95

100%/x%=923.95/230.99
(100/x)*x=(923.95/230.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9999567080826*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9999567080826) to get x
100/3.9999567080826=x
25.000270577412=x
x=25.000270577412

now we have:
