85.46 is what percent of 933.52 - 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 933.52 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 933.52, so we can write it down as 100%=933.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 85.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=85.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=933.52
2) x%=85.46
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%=933.52/85.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 85.46 is what percent of 933.52

100%/x%=933.52/85.46
(100/x)*x=(933.52/85.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.92347296981*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.92347296981) to get x
100/10.92347296981=x
9.1545976518982=x
x=9.1545976518982

now we have:
85.46 is 9.1545976518982% of 933.52
