93.6 is what percent of 426.6 - 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 426.6 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 426.6, so we can write it down as 100%=426.6.
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%=426.6
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%=426.6/93.6
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 426.6

100%/x%=426.6/93.6
(100/x)*x=(426.6/93.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5576923076923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5576923076923) to get x
100/4.5576923076923=x
21.940928270042=x
x=21.940928270042

now we have:
93.6 is 21.940928270042% of 426.6
