89 is what percent of 1794 - 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 1794 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 1794, so we can write it down as 100%=1794.
4. We know, that x% equals 89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1794
2) x%=89
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%=1794/89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89 is what percent of 1794

100%/x%=1794/89
(100/x)*x=(1794/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.157303370787*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.157303370787) to get x
100/20.157303370787=x
4.9609810479376=x
x=4.9609810479376

now we have:
89 is 4.9609810479376% of 1794
