1.92 is what percent of 2.17 - 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 2.17 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 2.17, so we can write it down as 100%=2.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.17
2) x%=1.92
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%=2.17/1.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.92 is what percent of 2.17

100%/x%=2.17/1.92
(100/x)*x=(2.17/1.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1302083333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1302083333333) to get x
100/1.1302083333333=x
88.479262672811=x
x=88.479262672811

now we have:
1.92 is 88.479262672811% of 2.17
