925.5 is what percent of 949 - 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 949 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 949, so we can write it down as 100%=949.
4. We know, that x% equals 925.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=925.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=949
2) x%=925.5
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%=949/925.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 925.5 is what percent of 949

100%/x%=949/925.5
(100/x)*x=(949/925.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0253916801729*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0253916801729) to get x
100/1.0253916801729=x
97.523709167545=x
x=97.523709167545

now we have:
925.5 is 97.523709167545% of 949
