27.38 is what percent of 23.27 - 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 23.27 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 23.27, so we can write it down as 100%=23.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.27
2) x%=27.38
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%=23.27/27.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.38 is what percent of 23.27

100%/x%=23.27/27.38
(100/x)*x=(23.27/27.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.84989043097151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.84989043097151) to get x
100/0.84989043097151=x
117.66222604211=x
x=117.66222604211

now we have:
27.38 is 117.66222604211% of 23.27
