9.57 is what percent of 10.16 - 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 10.16 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 10.16, so we can write it down as 100%=10.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.16
2) x%=9.57
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%=10.16/9.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.57 is what percent of 10.16

100%/x%=10.16/9.57
(100/x)*x=(10.16/9.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0616509926855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0616509926855) to get x
100/1.0616509926855=x
94.192913385827=x
x=94.192913385827

now we have:
9.57 is 94.192913385827% of 10.16
