5.93 is what percent of 79 - 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 79 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 79, so we can write it down as 100%=79.
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%=79
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%=79/5.93
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 79

100%/x%=79/5.93
(100/x)*x=(79/5.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.322091062395*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.322091062395) to get x
100/13.322091062395=x
7.5063291139241=x
x=7.5063291139241

now we have:
5.93 is 7.5063291139241% of 79
