928.34 is what percent of 20000 - 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 20000 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 20000, so we can write it down as 100%=20000.
4. We know, that x% equals 928.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=928.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20000
2) x%=928.34
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%=20000/928.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 928.34 is what percent of 20000

100%/x%=20000/928.34
(100/x)*x=(20000/928.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.543830924015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.543830924015) to get x
100/21.543830924015=x
4.6417=x
x=4.6417

now we have:
928.34 is 4.6417% of 20000
