40.93 is what percent of 23.31 - 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 23.31 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 23.31, so we can write it down as 100%=23.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 40.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=40.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.31
2) x%=40.93
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%=23.31/40.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 40.93 is what percent of 23.31

100%/x%=23.31/40.93
(100/x)*x=(23.31/40.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.5695089176643*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.5695089176643) to get x
100/0.5695089176643=x
175.58987558988=x
x=175.58987558988

now we have:
40.93 is 175.58987558988% of 23.31
