84.01 is what percent of 100.01 - 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 100.01 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 100.01, so we can write it down as 100%=100.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 84.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=84.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100.01
2) x%=84.01
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%=100.01/84.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 84.01 is what percent of 100.01

100%/x%=100.01/84.01
(100/x)*x=(100.01/84.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1904535174384*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1904535174384) to get x
100/1.1904535174384=x
84.001599840016=x
x=84.001599840016

now we have:
84.01 is 84.001599840016% of 100.01
