87.02 is what percent of 91.78 - 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 91.78 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 91.78, so we can write it down as 100%=91.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 87.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=87.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=91.78
2) x%=87.02
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%=91.78/87.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 87.02 is what percent of 91.78

100%/x%=91.78/87.02
(100/x)*x=(91.78/87.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0547000689497*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0547000689497) to get x
100/1.0547000689497=x
94.813684898671=x
x=94.813684898671

now we have:
87.02 is 94.813684898671% of 91.78
