188.76 is what percent of 9396.5 - 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 9396.5 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 9396.5, so we can write it down as 100%=9396.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 188.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=188.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9396.5
2) x%=188.76
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%=9396.5/188.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 188.76 is what percent of 9396.5

100%/x%=9396.5/188.76
(100/x)*x=(9396.5/188.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.780144098326*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.780144098326) to get x
100/49.780144098326=x
2.0088330761454=x
x=2.0088330761454

now we have:
