93.6 is what percent of 1260 - 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 1260 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 1260, so we can write it down as 100%=1260.
4. We know, that x% equals 93.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=93.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1260
2) x%=93.6
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%=1260/93.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 93.6 is what percent of 1260

100%/x%=1260/93.6
(100/x)*x=(1260/93.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.461538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.461538461538) to get x
100/13.461538461538=x
7.4285714285714=x
x=7.4285714285714

now we have:
93.6 is 7.4285714285714% of 1260
