21.16 is what percent of 93 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=93.
4. We know, that x% equals 21.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=93
2) x%=21.16
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%=93/21.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21.16 is what percent of 93

100%/x%=93/21.16
(100/x)*x=(93/21.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3950850661626*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3950850661626) to get x
100/4.3950850661626=x
22.752688172043=x
x=22.752688172043

now we have:
21.16 is 22.752688172043% of 93
