91.42 is what percent of 282.58 - 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 282.58 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 282.58, so we can write it down as 100%=282.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 91.42 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=91.42.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=282.58
2) x%=91.42
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%=282.58/91.42
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 91.42 is what percent of 282.58

100%/x%=282.58/91.42
(100/x)*x=(282.58/91.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0910085320499*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0910085320499) to get x
100/3.0910085320499=x
32.351900346804=x
x=32.351900346804

now we have:
91.42 is 32.351900346804% of 282.58
