91.01 is what percent of 8.99 - 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 8.99 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 8.99, so we can write it down as 100%=8.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 91.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=91.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.99
2) x%=91.01
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%=8.99/91.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 91.01 is what percent of 8.99

100%/x%=8.99/91.01
(100/x)*x=(8.99/91.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.098780353807274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.098780353807274) to get x
100/0.098780353807274=x
1012.3470522803=x
x=1012.3470522803

now we have:
91.01 is 1012.3470522803% of 8.99
