93.64 is what percent of 131 - 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 131 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 131, so we can write it down as 100%=131.
4. We know, that x% equals 93.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=93.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=131
2) x%=93.64
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%=131/93.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 93.64 is what percent of 131

100%/x%=131/93.64
(100/x)*x=(131/93.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3989747970953*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3989747970953) to get x
100/1.3989747970953=x
71.480916030534=x
x=71.480916030534

now we have:
93.64 is 71.480916030534% of 131
