Question: 23 is what percent of 36?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 36 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100% = 36.
Step 4: In the same vein, x% =23.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
100%=36(1)
x%=23(2)
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
100%/x = 36/23
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
x%/100% = 23/36
x= 63.89%
Therefore, 23 is 63.89%of 36
