946.98 is what percent of 980 - 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 980 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 980, so we can write it down as 100%=980.
4. We know, that x% equals 946.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=946.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=980
2) x%=946.98
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%=980/946.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 946.98 is what percent of 980

100%/x%=980/946.98
(100/x)*x=(980/946.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0348687406281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0348687406281) to get x
100/1.0348687406281=x
96.630612244898=x
x=96.630612244898

now we have:
946.98 is 96.630612244898% of 980
