5.68 is what percent of 5.94 - 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 5.94 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 5.94, so we can write it down as 100%=5.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.94
2) x%=5.68
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%=5.94/5.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.68 is what percent of 5.94

100%/x%=5.94/5.68
(100/x)*x=(5.94/5.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0457746478873*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0457746478873) to get x
100/1.0457746478873=x
95.622895622896=x
x=95.622895622896

now we have:
5.68 is 95.622895622896% of 5.94
