88.86 is what percent of 83.923 - 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 83.923 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 83.923, so we can write it down as 100%=83.923.
4. We know, that x% equals 88.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=88.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=83.923
2) x%=88.86
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%=83.923/88.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 88.86 is what percent of 83.923

100%/x%=83.923/88.86
(100/x)*x=(83.923/88.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.944440693225*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.944440693225) to get x
100/0.944440693225=x
105.882773495=x
x=105.882773495

now we have:
