96.45 is what percent of 108 - 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 108 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 108, so we can write it down as 100%=108.
4. We know, that x% equals 96.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=108
2) x%=96.45
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%=108/96.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96.45 is what percent of 108

100%/x%=108/96.45
(100/x)*x=(108/96.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1197511664075*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1197511664075) to get x
100/1.1197511664075=x
89.305555555556=x
x=89.305555555556

now we have:
96.45 is 89.305555555556% of 108
