97.34 is what percent of 183.68 - 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 183.68 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 183.68, so we can write it down as 100%=183.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 97.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=97.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=183.68
2) x%=97.34
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%=183.68/97.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 97.34 is what percent of 183.68

100%/x%=183.68/97.34
(100/x)*x=(183.68/97.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.886994041504*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.886994041504) to get x
100/1.886994041504=x
52.994337979094=x
x=52.994337979094

now we have:
97.34 is 52.994337979094% of 183.68
