113.67 is what percent of 116 - 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 116 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 116, so we can write it down as 100%=116.
4. We know, that x% equals 113.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=113.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=116
2) x%=113.67
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%=116/113.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 113.67 is what percent of 116

100%/x%=116/113.67
(100/x)*x=(116/113.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0204979326119*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0204979326119) to get x
100/1.0204979326119=x
97.991379310345=x
x=97.991379310345

now we have:
113.67 is 97.991379310345% of 116
