114.31 is what percent of 915.49 - 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 915.49 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 915.49, so we can write it down as 100%=915.49.
4. We know, that x% equals 114.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=114.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=915.49
2) x%=114.31
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%=915.49/114.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 114.31 is what percent of 915.49

100%/x%=915.49/114.31
(100/x)*x=(915.49/114.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.0088356224302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0088356224302) to get x
100/8.0088356224302=x
12.486209570831=x
x=12.486209570831

now we have:
114.31 is 12.486209570831% of 915.49
