9.4 is what percent of 332 - 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 332 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 332, so we can write it down as 100%=332.
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%=332
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%=332/9.4
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 332

100%/x%=332/9.4
(100/x)*x=(332/9.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.31914893617*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.31914893617) to get x
100/35.31914893617=x
2.8313253012048=x
x=2.8313253012048

now we have:
9.4 is 2.8313253012048% of 332
