96 is what percent of 10308 - 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 10308 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 10308, so we can write it down as 100%=10308.
4. We know, that x% equals 96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10308
2) x%=96
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%=10308/96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96 is what percent of 10308

100%/x%=10308/96
(100/x)*x=(10308/96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=107.375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (107.375) to get x
100/107.375=x
0.93131548311991=x
x=0.93131548311991

now we have:
96 is 0.93131548311991% of 10308
