92 is what percent of 77 - 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 77 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 77, so we can write it down as 100%=77.
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%=77
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%=77/92
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 77

100%/x%=77/92
(100/x)*x=(77/92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.83695652173913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.83695652173913) to get x
100/0.83695652173913=x
119.48051948052=x
x=119.48051948052

now we have:
92 is 119.48051948052% of 77
