92 is what percent of 1169 - 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 1169 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 1169, so we can write it down as 100%=1169.
4. We know, that x% equals 92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1169
2) x%=92
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%=1169/92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92 is what percent of 1169

100%/x%=1169/92
(100/x)*x=(1169/92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.70652173913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.70652173913) to get x
100/12.70652173913=x
7.8699743370402=x
x=7.8699743370402

now we have:
92 is 7.8699743370402% of 1169
