1994.36 is what percent of 5960 - 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 5960 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 5960, so we can write it down as 100%=5960.
4. We know, that x% equals 1994.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1994.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5960
2) x%=1994.36
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%=5960/1994.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1994.36 is what percent of 5960

100%/x%=5960/1994.36
(100/x)*x=(5960/1994.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9884273651698*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9884273651698) to get x
100/2.9884273651698=x
33.462416107383=x
x=33.462416107383

now we have:
1994.36 is 33.462416107383% of 5960
