97.98 is what percent of 920 - 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 920 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 920, so we can write it down as 100%=920.
4. We know, that x% equals 97.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=97.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=920
2) x%=97.98
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%=920/97.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 97.98 is what percent of 920

100%/x%=920/97.98
(100/x)*x=(920/97.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.3896713615023*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3896713615023) to get x
100/9.3896713615023=x
10.65=x
x=10.65

now we have:
97.98 is 10.65% of 920
