115.94 is what percent of 2074 - 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 2074 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 2074, so we can write it down as 100%=2074.
4. We know, that x% equals 115.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=115.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2074
2) x%=115.94
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%=2074/115.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 115.94 is what percent of 2074

100%/x%=2074/115.94
(100/x)*x=(2074/115.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.888563049853*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.888563049853) to get x
100/17.888563049853=x
5.5901639344262=x
x=5.5901639344262

now we have:
115.94 is 5.5901639344262% of 2074
