931.78 is what percent of 954.31 - 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 954.31 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 954.31, so we can write it down as 100%=954.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 931.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=931.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=954.31
2) x%=931.78
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%=954.31/931.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 931.78 is what percent of 954.31

100%/x%=954.31/931.78
(100/x)*x=(954.31/931.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0241795273562*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0241795273562) to get x
100/1.0241795273562=x
97.639131938259=x
x=97.639131938259

now we have:
