20.94 is what percent of 232.44 - 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 232.44 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 232.44, so we can write it down as 100%=232.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=232.44
2) x%=20.94
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%=232.44/20.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.94 is what percent of 232.44

100%/x%=232.44/20.94
(100/x)*x=(232.44/20.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.100286532951*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.100286532951) to get x
100/11.100286532951=x
9.0087764584409=x
x=9.0087764584409

now we have:
