898.03 is what percent of 1083.36 - 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 1083.36 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 1083.36, so we can write it down as 100%=1083.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 898.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=898.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1083.36
2) x%=898.03
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%=1083.36/898.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 898.03 is what percent of 1083.36

100%/x%=1083.36/898.03
(100/x)*x=(1083.36/898.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2063739518724*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2063739518724) to get x
100/1.2063739518724=x
82.893036479102=x
x=82.893036479102

now we have:
898.03 is 82.893036479102% of 1083.36
