92 is what percent of 244 - 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 244 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 244, so we can write it down as 100%=244.
4. We know, that x% equals 92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=244
2) x%=92
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%=244/92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92 is what percent of 244

100%/x%=244/92
(100/x)*x=(244/92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6521739130435*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6521739130435) to get x
100/2.6521739130435=x
37.704918032787=x
x=37.704918032787

now we have:
92 is 37.704918032787% of 244
