88.3 is what percent of 101.69 - 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 101.69 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 101.69, so we can write it down as 100%=101.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 88.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=88.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=101.69
2) x%=88.3
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%=101.69/88.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 88.3 is what percent of 101.69

100%/x%=101.69/88.3
(100/x)*x=(101.69/88.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1516421291053*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1516421291053) to get x
100/1.1516421291053=x
86.832530238962=x
x=86.832530238962

now we have:
88.3 is 86.832530238962% of 101.69
