92 is what percent of 916 - 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 916 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 916, so we can write it down as 100%=916.
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%=916
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%=916/92
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 916

100%/x%=916/92
(100/x)*x=(916/92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.9565217391304*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.9565217391304) to get x
100/9.9565217391304=x
10.043668122271=x
x=10.043668122271

now we have:
92 is 10.043668122271% of 916
