93 is what percent of 5018 - 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 5018 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 5018, so we can write it down as 100%=5018.
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%=5018
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%=5018/93
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 5018

100%/x%=5018/93
(100/x)*x=(5018/93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=53.956989247312*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (53.956989247312) to get x
100/53.956989247312=x
1.8533280191311=x
x=1.8533280191311

now we have:
93 is 1.8533280191311% of 5018
