9.32 is what percent of 15.44 - 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 15.44 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 15.44, so we can write it down as 100%=15.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.44
2) x%=9.32
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%=15.44/9.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.32 is what percent of 15.44

100%/x%=15.44/9.32
(100/x)*x=(15.44/9.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.656652360515*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.656652360515) to get x
100/1.656652360515=x
60.362694300518=x
x=60.362694300518

now we have:
9.32 is 60.362694300518% of 15.44
