4.34 is what percent of 9.3 - 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 9.3 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 9.3, so we can write it down as 100%=9.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9.3
2) x%=4.34
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%=9.3/4.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.34 is what percent of 9.3

100%/x%=9.3/4.34
(100/x)*x=(9.3/4.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1428571428571) to get x
100/2.1428571428571=x
46.666666666667=x
x=46.666666666667

now we have:
4.34 is 46.666666666667% of 9.3
