5.93 is what percent of 188.58 - 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 188.58 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 188.58, so we can write it down as 100%=188.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=188.58
2) x%=5.93
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%=188.58/5.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.93 is what percent of 188.58

100%/x%=188.58/5.93
(100/x)*x=(188.58/5.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.801011804384*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.801011804384) to get x
100/31.801011804384=x
3.1445540354226=x
x=3.1445540354226

now we have:
5.93 is 3.1445540354226% of 188.58
