70.93 is what percent of 84.37 - 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 84.37 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 84.37, so we can write it down as 100%=84.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 70.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=84.37
2) x%=70.93
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%=84.37/70.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70.93 is what percent of 84.37

100%/x%=84.37/70.93
(100/x)*x=(84.37/70.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1894825884675*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1894825884675) to get x
100/1.1894825884675=x
84.070167121015=x
x=84.070167121015

now we have:
70.93 is 84.070167121015% of 84.37
