89.01 is what percent of 175.26 - 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 175.26 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 175.26, so we can write it down as 100%=175.26.
4. We know, that x% equals 89.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=175.26
2) x%=89.01
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%=175.26/89.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89.01 is what percent of 175.26

100%/x%=175.26/89.01
(100/x)*x=(175.26/89.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.968992248062*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.968992248062) to get x
100/1.968992248062=x
50.787401574803=x
x=50.787401574803

now we have:
89.01 is 50.787401574803% of 175.26
