23.94 is what percent of 814 - 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 814 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 814, so we can write it down as 100%=814.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=814
2) x%=23.94
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%=814/23.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.94 is what percent of 814

100%/x%=814/23.94
(100/x)*x=(814/23.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.001670843776*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.001670843776) to get x
100/34.001670843776=x
2.9410319410319=x
x=2.9410319410319

now we have:
23.94 is 2.9410319410319% of 814
