0.94 is what percent of 18.76 - 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 18.76 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 18.76, so we can write it down as 100%=18.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.76
2) x%=0.94
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%=18.76/0.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.94 is what percent of 18.76

100%/x%=18.76/0.94
(100/x)*x=(18.76/0.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.957446808511*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.957446808511) to get x
100/19.957446808511=x
5.0106609808102=x
x=5.0106609808102

now we have:
0.94 is 5.0106609808102% of 18.76
