9.46 is what percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000, so we can write it down as 100%=1000.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1000
2) x%=9.46
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%=1000/9.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.46 is what percent of 1000

100%/x%=1000/9.46
(100/x)*x=(1000/9.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=105.70824524313*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (105.70824524313) to get x
100/105.70824524313=x
0.946=x
x=0.946

now we have:
9.46 is 0.946% of 1000
