94.7 is what percent of 114.2 - 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 114.2 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 114.2, so we can write it down as 100%=114.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=114.2
2) x%=94.7
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%=114.2/94.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.7 is what percent of 114.2

100%/x%=114.2/94.7
(100/x)*x=(114.2/94.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2059134107709*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2059134107709) to get x
100/1.2059134107709=x
82.92469352014=x
x=82.92469352014

now we have:
94.7 is 82.92469352014% of 114.2
