96.08 is what percent of 114.224 - 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 114.224 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 114.224, so we can write it down as 100%=114.224.
4. We know, that x% equals 96.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=114.224
2) x%=96.08
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%=114.224/96.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96.08 is what percent of 114.224

100%/x%=114.224/96.08
(100/x)*x=(114.224/96.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1888426311407*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1888426311407) to get x
100/1.1888426311407=x
84.115422328057=x
x=84.115422328057

now we have:
96.08 is 84.115422328057% of 114.224
