117.52 is what percent of 920 - 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 920 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 920, so we can write it down as 100%=920.
4. We know, that x% equals 117.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=117.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=920
2) x%=117.52
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%=920/117.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 117.52 is what percent of 920

100%/x%=920/117.52
(100/x)*x=(920/117.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.8284547311096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8284547311096) to get x
100/7.8284547311096=x
12.773913043478=x
x=12.773913043478

now we have:
117.52 is 12.773913043478% of 920
