7.3 is what percent of 94.6 - 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 94.6 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 94.6, so we can write it down as 100%=94.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94.6
2) x%=7.3
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%=94.6/7.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.3 is what percent of 94.6

100%/x%=94.6/7.3
(100/x)*x=(94.6/7.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.958904109589*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.958904109589) to get x
100/12.958904109589=x
7.7167019027484=x
x=7.7167019027484

now we have:
7.3 is 7.7167019027484% of 94.6
