17.64 is what percent of 93.95 - 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 93.95 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 93.95, so we can write it down as 100%=93.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=93.95
2) x%=17.64
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%=93.95/17.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.64 is what percent of 93.95

100%/x%=93.95/17.64
(100/x)*x=(93.95/17.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3259637188209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3259637188209) to get x
100/5.3259637188209=x
18.77594465141=x
x=18.77594465141

now we have:
17.64 is 18.77594465141% of 93.95
