93 is what percent of 831 - 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 831 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 831, so we can write it down as 100%=831.
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%=831
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%=831/93
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 831

100%/x%=831/93
(100/x)*x=(831/93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.9354838709677*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9354838709677) to get x
100/8.9354838709677=x
11.191335740072=x
x=11.191335740072

now we have:
93 is 11.191335740072% of 831
