1.42 is what percent of 93.14 - 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 93.14 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 93.14, so we can write it down as 100%=93.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.42 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.42.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=93.14
2) x%=1.42
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%=93.14/1.42
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.42 is what percent of 93.14

100%/x%=93.14/1.42
(100/x)*x=(93.14/1.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=65.591549295775*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (65.591549295775) to get x
100/65.591549295775=x
1.5245866437621=x
x=1.5245866437621

now we have:
1.42 is 1.5245866437621% of 93.14
