17.7 is what percent of 0.94 - 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 0.94 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 0.94, so we can write it down as 100%=0.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.94
2) x%=17.7
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%=0.94/17.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.7 is what percent of 0.94

100%/x%=0.94/17.7
(100/x)*x=(0.94/17.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.053107344632768*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.053107344632768) to get x
100/0.053107344632768=x
1882.9787234043=x
x=1882.9787234043

now we have:
17.7 is 1882.9787234043% of 0.94
