0.99 is what percent of 49.35 - 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 49.35 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 49.35, so we can write it down as 100%=49.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=49.35
2) x%=0.99
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%=49.35/0.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.99 is what percent of 49.35

100%/x%=49.35/0.99
(100/x)*x=(49.35/0.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.848484848485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.848484848485) to get x
100/49.848484848485=x
2.0060790273556=x
x=2.0060790273556

now we have:
0.99 is 2.0060790273556% of 49.35
