90.7 is what percent of 95 - 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 95 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 95, so we can write it down as 100%=95.
4. We know, that x% equals 90.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=90.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=95
2) x%=90.7
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%=95/90.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 90.7 is what percent of 95

100%/x%=95/90.7
(100/x)*x=(95/90.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0474090407938*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0474090407938) to get x
100/1.0474090407938=x
95.473684210526=x
x=95.473684210526

now we have:
90.7 is 95.473684210526% of 95
