9.94 is what percent of 42.49 - 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 42.49 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 42.49, so we can write it down as 100%=42.49.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=42.49
2) x%=9.94
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%=42.49/9.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.94 is what percent of 42.49

100%/x%=42.49/9.94
(100/x)*x=(42.49/9.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2746478873239*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2746478873239) to get x
100/4.2746478873239=x
23.39373970346=x
x=23.39373970346

now we have:
9.94 is 23.39373970346% of 42.49
