91.57 is what percent of 228.94 - 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 228.94 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 228.94, so we can write it down as 100%=228.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 91.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=91.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=228.94
2) x%=91.57
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%=228.94/91.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 91.57 is what percent of 228.94

100%/x%=228.94/91.57
(100/x)*x=(228.94/91.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5001638091078*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5001638091078) to get x
100/2.5001638091078=x
39.997379225998=x
x=39.997379225998

now we have:
91.57 is 39.997379225998% of 228.94
