95.95 is what percent of 87.58 - 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 87.58 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 87.58, so we can write it down as 100%=87.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 95.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=95.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=87.58
2) x%=95.95
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%=87.58/95.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 95.95 is what percent of 87.58

100%/x%=87.58/95.95
(100/x)*x=(87.58/95.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.9127670661803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.9127670661803) to get x
100/0.9127670661803=x
109.55697647865=x
x=109.55697647865

now we have:
95.95 is 109.55697647865% of 87.58
