952 is what percent of 890 - 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 890 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 890, so we can write it down as 100%=890.
4. We know, that x% equals 952 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=952.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=890
2) x%=952
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%=890/952
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 952 is what percent of 890

100%/x%=890/952
(100/x)*x=(890/952)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.93487394957983*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.93487394957983) to get x
100/0.93487394957983=x
106.96629213483=x
x=106.96629213483

now we have:
952 is 106.96629213483% of 890
