93.5 is what percent of 85.7 - 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 85.7 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 85.7, so we can write it down as 100%=85.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 93.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=93.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=85.7
2) x%=93.5
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%=85.7/93.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 93.5 is what percent of 85.7

100%/x%=85.7/93.5
(100/x)*x=(85.7/93.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.91657754010695*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91657754010695) to get x
100/0.91657754010695=x
109.10151691949=x
x=109.10151691949

now we have:
93.5 is 109.10151691949% of 85.7
