9.23 is what percent of 16.06 - 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 16.06 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 16.06, so we can write it down as 100%=16.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.06
2) x%=9.23
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%=16.06/9.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.23 is what percent of 16.06

100%/x%=16.06/9.23
(100/x)*x=(16.06/9.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7399783315276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7399783315276) to get x
100/1.7399783315276=x
57.47198007472=x
x=57.47198007472

now we have:
9.23 is 57.47198007472% of 16.06
