9.7 is what percent of 9.57 - 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 9.57 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 9.57, so we can write it down as 100%=9.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9.57
2) x%=9.7
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%=9.57/9.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.7 is what percent of 9.57

100%/x%=9.57/9.7
(100/x)*x=(9.57/9.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98659793814433*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98659793814433) to get x
100/0.98659793814433=x
101.35841170324=x
x=101.35841170324

now we have:
9.7 is 101.35841170324% of 9.57
