9.8 is what percent of 10.15 - 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 10.15 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 10.15, so we can write it down as 100%=10.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.15
2) x%=9.8
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%=10.15/9.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.8 is what percent of 10.15

100%/x%=10.15/9.8
(100/x)*x=(10.15/9.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0357142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0357142857143) to get x
100/1.0357142857143=x
96.551724137931=x
x=96.551724137931

now we have:
9.8 is 96.551724137931% of 10.15
