947.88 is what percent of 974.15 - 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 974.15 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 974.15, so we can write it down as 100%=974.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 947.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=947.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=974.15
2) x%=947.88
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%=974.15/947.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 947.88 is what percent of 974.15

100%/x%=974.15/947.88
(100/x)*x=(974.15/947.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.027714478626*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.027714478626) to get x
100/1.027714478626=x
97.303290047734=x
x=97.303290047734

now we have:
