8.15 is what percent of 93 - 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 93 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 93, so we can write it down as 100%=93.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=93
2) x%=8.15
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%=93/8.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.15 is what percent of 93

100%/x%=93/8.15
(100/x)*x=(93/8.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.411042944785*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.411042944785) to get x
100/11.411042944785=x
8.7634408602151=x
x=8.7634408602151

now we have:
8.15 is 8.7634408602151% of 93
