923.21 is what percent of 1168 - 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 1168 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 1168, so we can write it down as 100%=1168.
4. We know, that x% equals 923.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=923.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1168
2) x%=923.21
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%=1168/923.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 923.21 is what percent of 1168

100%/x%=1168/923.21
(100/x)*x=(1168/923.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2651509407394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2651509407394) to get x
100/1.2651509407394=x
79.041952054795=x
x=79.041952054795

now we have:
923.21 is 79.041952054795% of 1168
