92 is what percent of 1269.5 - 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 1269.5 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 1269.5, so we can write it down as 100%=1269.5.
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%=1269.5
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%=1269.5/92
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 1269.5

100%/x%=1269.5/92
(100/x)*x=(1269.5/92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.798913043478*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.798913043478) to get x
100/13.798913043478=x
7.2469476171721=x
x=7.2469476171721

now we have:
92 is 7.2469476171721% of 1269.5
