0.94 is what percent of 36.6 - 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 36.6 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 36.6, so we can write it down as 100%=36.6.
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%=36.6
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%=36.6/0.94
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 36.6

100%/x%=36.6/0.94
(100/x)*x=(36.6/0.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=38.936170212766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (38.936170212766) to get x
100/38.936170212766=x
2.568306010929=x
x=2.568306010929

now we have:
0.94 is 2.568306010929% of 36.6
