97.21 is what percent of 795 - 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 795 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 795, so we can write it down as 100%=795.
4. We know, that x% equals 97.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=97.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=795
2) x%=97.21
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%=795/97.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 97.21 is what percent of 795

100%/x%=795/97.21
(100/x)*x=(795/97.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.1781709700648*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.1781709700648) to get x
100/8.1781709700648=x
12.227672955975=x
x=12.227672955975

now we have:
97.21 is 12.227672955975% of 795
