95.25 is what percent of 1161 - 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 1161 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 1161, so we can write it down as 100%=1161.
4. We know, that x% equals 95.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=95.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1161
2) x%=95.25
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%=1161/95.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 95.25 is what percent of 1161

100%/x%=1161/95.25
(100/x)*x=(1161/95.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.188976377953*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.188976377953) to get x
100/12.188976377953=x
8.2041343669251=x
x=8.2041343669251

now we have:
95.25 is 8.2041343669251% of 1161
