950.4 is what percent of 1150 - 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 1150 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 1150, so we can write it down as 100%=1150.
4. We know, that x% equals 950.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=950.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1150
2) x%=950.4
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%=1150/950.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 950.4 is what percent of 1150

100%/x%=1150/950.4
(100/x)*x=(1150/950.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2100168350168*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2100168350168) to get x
100/1.2100168350168=x
82.64347826087=x
x=82.64347826087

now we have:
950.4 is 82.64347826087% of 1150
