83.95 is what percent of 360.92 - 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 360.92 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 360.92, so we can write it down as 100%=360.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 83.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=83.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=360.92
2) x%=83.95
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%=360.92/83.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 83.95 is what percent of 360.92

100%/x%=360.92/83.95
(100/x)*x=(360.92/83.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.299225729601*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.299225729601) to get x
100/4.299225729601=x
23.260002216558=x
x=23.260002216558

now we have:
83.95 is 23.260002216558% of 360.92
