5.94 is what percent of 9.54 - 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 9.54 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 9.54, so we can write it down as 100%=9.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9.54
2) x%=5.94
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%=9.54/5.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.94 is what percent of 9.54

100%/x%=9.54/5.94
(100/x)*x=(9.54/5.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6060606060606*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6060606060606) to get x
100/1.6060606060606=x
62.264150943396=x
x=62.264150943396

now we have:
5.94 is 62.264150943396% of 9.54
