96 is what percent of 22800 - 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 22800 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 22800, so we can write it down as 100%=22800.
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%=22800
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%=22800/96
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 22800

100%/x%=22800/96
(100/x)*x=(22800/96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=237.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (237.5) to get x
100/237.5=x
0.42105263157895=x
x=0.42105263157895

now we have:
96 is 0.42105263157895% of 22800
