9.45 is what percent of 2088 - 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 2088 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 2088, so we can write it down as 100%=2088.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2088
2) x%=9.45
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%=2088/9.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.45 is what percent of 2088

100%/x%=2088/9.45
(100/x)*x=(2088/9.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=220.95238095238*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (220.95238095238) to get x
100/220.95238095238=x
0.45258620689655=x
x=0.45258620689655

now we have:
9.45 is 0.45258620689655% of 2088
