96.04 is what percent of 1518.48 - 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 1518.48 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 1518.48, so we can write it down as 100%=1518.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 96.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1518.48
2) x%=96.04
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%=1518.48/96.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96.04 is what percent of 1518.48

100%/x%=1518.48/96.04
(100/x)*x=(1518.48/96.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.81091211995*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.81091211995) to get x
100/15.81091211995=x
6.32474579843=x
x=6.32474579843

now we have:
96.04 is 6.32474579843% of 1518.48
