96.18 is what percent of 889.86 - 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 889.86 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 889.86, so we can write it down as 100%=889.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 96.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=889.86
2) x%=96.18
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%=889.86/96.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96.18 is what percent of 889.86

100%/x%=889.86/96.18
(100/x)*x=(889.86/96.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.252027448534*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.252027448534) to get x
100/9.252027448534=x
10.808441777358=x
x=10.808441777358

now we have:
96.18 is 10.808441777358% of 889.86
