9.83 is what percent of 103.4 - 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 103.4 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 103.4, so we can write it down as 100%=103.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=103.4
2) x%=9.83
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%=103.4/9.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.83 is what percent of 103.4

100%/x%=103.4/9.83
(100/x)*x=(103.4/9.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.518819938962*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.518819938962) to get x
100/10.518819938962=x
9.5067698259188=x
x=9.5067698259188

now we have:
9.83 is 9.5067698259188% of 103.4
