What is 92.17 percent of 117 - 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 117 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 117 is 100%, so we can write it down as 117=100%.
4. We know, that x is 92.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=92.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 117=100%
2) x=92.17%
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:
117/x=100%/92.17%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 92.17% of 117

117/x=100/92.17
(117/x)*x=(100/92.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
117=1.0849517196485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0849517196485) to get x
117/1.0849517196485=x
107.8389=x
x=107.8389

now we have:
92.17% of 117=107.8389
