835.3 is what percent of 817.3 - 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 817.3 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 817.3, so we can write it down as 100%=817.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 835.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=835.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=817.3
2) x%=835.3
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%=817.3/835.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 835.3 is what percent of 817.3

100%/x%=817.3/835.3
(100/x)*x=(817.3/835.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97845085597989*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97845085597989) to get x
100/0.97845085597989=x
102.2023736694=x
x=102.2023736694

now we have:
835.3 is 102.2023736694% of 817.3
