0.94 is what percent of 51 - 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 51 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 51, so we can write it down as 100%=51.
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%=51
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%=51/0.94
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 51

100%/x%=51/0.94
(100/x)*x=(51/0.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=54.255319148936*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (54.255319148936) to get x
100/54.255319148936=x
1.843137254902=x
x=1.843137254902

now we have:
0.94 is 1.843137254902% of 51
