91.67 is what percent of 23.5 - 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 23.5 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 23.5, so we can write it down as 100%=23.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 91.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=91.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.5
2) x%=91.67
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%=23.5/91.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 91.67 is what percent of 23.5

100%/x%=23.5/91.67
(100/x)*x=(23.5/91.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.25635431438857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.25635431438857) to get x
100/0.25635431438857=x
390.08510638298=x
x=390.08510638298

now we have:
91.67 is 390.08510638298% of 23.5
