91 is what percent of 113.7 - 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 113.7 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 113.7, so we can write it down as 100%=113.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=113.7
2) x%=91
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%=113.7/91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 91 is what percent of 113.7

100%/x%=113.7/91
(100/x)*x=(113.7/91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2494505494505*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2494505494505) to get x
100/1.2494505494505=x
80.035180299033=x
x=80.035180299033

now we have:
91 is 80.035180299033% of 113.7
