9.1 is what percent of 9.25 - 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 9.25 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 9.25, so we can write it down as 100%=9.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9.25
2) x%=9.1
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%=9.25/9.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.1 is what percent of 9.25

100%/x%=9.25/9.1
(100/x)*x=(9.25/9.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0164835164835*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0164835164835) to get x
100/1.0164835164835=x
98.378378378378=x
x=98.378378378378

now we have:
9.1 is 98.378378378378% of 9.25
