9.4 is what percent of 127 - 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 127 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 127, so we can write it down as 100%=127.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=127
2) x%=9.4
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%=127/9.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.4 is what percent of 127

100%/x%=127/9.4
(100/x)*x=(127/9.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.510638297872*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.510638297872) to get x
100/13.510638297872=x
7.4015748031496=x
x=7.4015748031496

now we have:
9.4 is 7.4015748031496% of 127
