9.33 is what percent of 3140 - 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 3140 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 3140, so we can write it down as 100%=3140.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3140
2) x%=9.33
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%=3140/9.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.33 is what percent of 3140

100%/x%=3140/9.33
(100/x)*x=(3140/9.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=336.54876741693*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (336.54876741693) to get x
100/336.54876741693=x
0.29713375796178=x
x=0.29713375796178

now we have:
9.33 is 0.29713375796178% of 3140
