9.95 is what percent of 37.43 - 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 37.43 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 37.43, so we can write it down as 100%=37.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37.43
2) x%=9.95
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%=37.43/9.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.95 is what percent of 37.43

100%/x%=37.43/9.95
(100/x)*x=(37.43/9.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7618090452261*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7618090452261) to get x
100/3.7618090452261=x
26.582954849052=x
x=26.582954849052

now we have:
9.95 is 26.582954849052% of 37.43
