92 is what percent of 1797 - 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 1797 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 1797, so we can write it down as 100%=1797.
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%=1797
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%=1797/92
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 1797

100%/x%=1797/92
(100/x)*x=(1797/92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.532608695652*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.532608695652) to get x
100/19.532608695652=x
5.1196438508625=x
x=5.1196438508625

now we have:
92 is 5.1196438508625% of 1797
