9.2 is what percent of 114.6 - 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 114.6 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 114.6, so we can write it down as 100%=114.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=114.6
2) x%=9.2
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%=114.6/9.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.2 is what percent of 114.6

100%/x%=114.6/9.2
(100/x)*x=(114.6/9.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.45652173913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.45652173913) to get x
100/12.45652173913=x
8.0279232111693=x
x=8.0279232111693

now we have:
9.2 is 8.0279232111693% of 114.6
