92.25 is what percent of 10.25 - 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 10.25 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 10.25, so we can write it down as 100%=10.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 92.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.25
2) x%=92.25
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%=10.25/92.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92.25 is what percent of 10.25

100%/x%=10.25/92.25
(100/x)*x=(10.25/92.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.11111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11111111111111) to get x
100/0.11111111111111=x
900=x
x=900

now we have:
92.25 is 900% of 10.25
