97.5 is what percent of 1.1 - 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 1.1 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 1.1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 97.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=97.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.1
2) x%=97.5
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%=1.1/97.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 97.5 is what percent of 1.1

100%/x%=1.1/97.5
(100/x)*x=(1.1/97.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.011282051282051*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.011282051282051) to get x
100/0.011282051282051=x
8863.6363636364=x
x=8863.6363636364

now we have:
97.5 is 8863.6363636364% of 1.1
