99.6 is what percent of 212.25 - 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 212.25 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 212.25, so we can write it down as 100%=212.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 99.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=99.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=212.25
2) x%=99.6
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%=212.25/99.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 99.6 is what percent of 212.25

100%/x%=212.25/99.6
(100/x)*x=(212.25/99.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1310240963855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1310240963855) to get x
100/2.1310240963855=x
46.925795053004=x
x=46.925795053004

now we have:
99.6 is 46.925795053004% of 212.25
