92.4 is what percent of 98.8 - 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 98.8 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 98.8, so we can write it down as 100%=98.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 92.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=98.8
2) x%=92.4
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%=98.8/92.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92.4 is what percent of 98.8

100%/x%=98.8/92.4
(100/x)*x=(98.8/92.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0692640692641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0692640692641) to get x
100/1.0692640692641=x
93.522267206478=x
x=93.522267206478

now we have:
92.4 is 93.522267206478% of 98.8
