91.23 is what percent of 104.26 - 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 104.26 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 104.26, so we can write it down as 100%=104.26.
4. We know, that x% equals 91.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=91.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=104.26
2) x%=91.23
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%=104.26/91.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 91.23 is what percent of 104.26

100%/x%=104.26/91.23
(100/x)*x=(104.26/91.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1428258248383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1428258248383) to get x
100/1.1428258248383=x
87.502397851525=x
x=87.502397851525

now we have:
91.23 is 87.502397851525% of 104.26
