234.71 is what percent of 9400 - 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 9400 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 9400, so we can write it down as 100%=9400.
4. We know, that x% equals 234.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=234.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9400
2) x%=234.71
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%=9400/234.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 234.71 is what percent of 9400

100%/x%=9400/234.71
(100/x)*x=(9400/234.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.049422691832*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.049422691832) to get x
100/40.049422691832=x
2.496914893617=x
x=2.496914893617

now we have:
234.71 is 2.496914893617% of 9400
