82.93 is what percent of 127 - 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 127 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 127, so we can write it down as 100%=127.
4. We know, that x% equals 82.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=82.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=127
2) x%=82.93
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%=127/82.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 82.93 is what percent of 127

100%/x%=127/82.93
(100/x)*x=(127/82.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5314120342457*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5314120342457) to get x
100/1.5314120342457=x
65.299212598425=x
x=65.299212598425

now we have:
82.93 is 65.299212598425% of 127
