986.7 is what percent of 995 - 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 995 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 995, so we can write it down as 100%=995.
4. We know, that x% equals 986.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=986.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=995
2) x%=986.7
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%=995/986.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 986.7 is what percent of 995

100%/x%=995/986.7
(100/x)*x=(995/986.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0084118779771*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0084118779771) to get x
100/1.0084118779771=x
99.165829145729=x
x=99.165829145729

now we have:
986.7 is 99.165829145729% of 995
