3955.36 is what percent of 9384 - 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 9384 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 9384, so we can write it down as 100%=9384.
4. We know, that x% equals 3955.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3955.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9384
2) x%=3955.36
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%=9384/3955.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3955.36 is what percent of 9384

100%/x%=9384/3955.36
(100/x)*x=(9384/3955.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3724768415517*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3724768415517) to get x
100/2.3724768415517=x
42.150042625746=x
x=42.150042625746

now we have:
3955.36 is 42.150042625746% of 9384
