What is 97.6 percent of 103 - 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 103 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 103 is 100%, so we can write it down as 103=100%.
4. We know, that x is 97.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=97.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 103=100%
2) x=97.6%
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:
103/x=100%/97.6%
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 97.6% of 103

103/x=100/97.6
(103/x)*x=(100/97.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
103=1.0245901639344*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0245901639344) to get x
103/1.0245901639344=x
100.528=x
x=100.528

now we have:
97.6% of 103=100.528
