8.33 is what percent of 97 - 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 97 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 97, so we can write it down as 100%=97.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=97
2) x%=8.33
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%=97/8.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.33 is what percent of 97

100%/x%=97/8.33
(100/x)*x=(97/8.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.644657863145*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.644657863145) to get x
100/11.644657863145=x
8.5876288659794=x
x=8.5876288659794

now we have:
8.33 is 8.5876288659794% of 97
