99.99 is what percent of 227.95 - 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 227.95 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 227.95, so we can write it down as 100%=227.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 99.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=99.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=227.95
2) x%=99.99
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%=227.95/99.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 99.99 is what percent of 227.95

100%/x%=227.95/99.99
(100/x)*x=(227.95/99.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2797279727973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2797279727973) to get x
100/2.2797279727973=x
43.864882649704=x
x=43.864882649704

now we have:
99.99 is 43.864882649704% of 227.95
