91 is what percent of 1415 - 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 1415 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 1415, so we can write it down as 100%=1415.
4. We know, that x% equals 91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1415
2) x%=91
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%=1415/91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 91 is what percent of 1415

100%/x%=1415/91
(100/x)*x=(1415/91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.549450549451*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.549450549451) to get x
100/15.549450549451=x
6.4310954063604=x
x=6.4310954063604

now we have:
91 is 6.4310954063604% of 1415
