94.8 is what percent of 128.9 - 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 128.9 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 128.9, so we can write it down as 100%=128.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=128.9
2) x%=94.8
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%=128.9/94.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.8 is what percent of 128.9

100%/x%=128.9/94.8
(100/x)*x=(128.9/94.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3597046413502*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3597046413502) to get x
100/1.3597046413502=x
73.545384018619=x
x=73.545384018619

now we have:
94.8 is 73.545384018619% of 128.9
