84 is what percent of 93.17 - 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 93.17 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 93.17, so we can write it down as 100%=93.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=93.17
2) x%=84
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%=93.17/84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 84 is what percent of 93.17

100%/x%=93.17/84
(100/x)*x=(93.17/84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1091666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1091666666667) to get x
100/1.1091666666667=x
90.157776108189=x
x=90.157776108189

now we have:
84 is 90.157776108189% of 93.17
