93.4 is what percent of 396.4 - 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 396.4 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 396.4, so we can write it down as 100%=396.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 93.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=93.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=396.4
2) x%=93.4
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%=396.4/93.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 93.4 is what percent of 396.4

100%/x%=396.4/93.4
(100/x)*x=(396.4/93.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2441113490364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2441113490364) to get x
100/4.2441113490364=x
23.562058526741=x
x=23.562058526741

now we have:
93.4 is 23.562058526741% of 396.4
