89 is what percent of 431.76 - 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 431.76 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 431.76, so we can write it down as 100%=431.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=431.76
2) x%=89
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%=431.76/89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89 is what percent of 431.76

100%/x%=431.76/89
(100/x)*x=(431.76/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8512359550562*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8512359550562) to get x
100/4.8512359550562=x
20.613303687234=x
x=20.613303687234

now we have:
89 is 20.613303687234% of 431.76
