93 is what percent of 1874 - 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 1874 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 1874, so we can write it down as 100%=1874.
4. We know, that x% equals 93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1874
2) x%=93
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%=1874/93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 93 is what percent of 1874

100%/x%=1874/93
(100/x)*x=(1874/93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.150537634409*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.150537634409) to get x
100/20.150537634409=x
4.9626467449306=x
x=4.9626467449306

now we have:
93 is 4.9626467449306% of 1874
