Explanation:

did you change the reference number ?

I think the original question was "90 is how many % of 80 ?"

now it is 81.

in % calculations the most important things to identify :

what are 100% (or any other reference % level).

then what is 1%.

and then multiply this 1% by the desired number of % or divide the target number by this 1% to find out how many % the target number is.

in our case here

100% = 81

1% = 100%/100 = 81/100 = 0.81

how many % are 90 ?

well, as many as how often 1% fits into these 90 :

90/0.81 = 111.111111111... %

when the reference was 80, then we had

90/0.8 = 112.5%
