9.32 is what percent of 47 - 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 47 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 47, so we can write it down as 100%=47.
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%=47
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%=47/9.32
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 47

100%/x%=47/9.32
(100/x)*x=(47/9.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0429184549356*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0429184549356) to get x
100/5.0429184549356=x
19.829787234043=x
x=19.829787234043

now we have:
9.32 is 19.829787234043% of 47
