94 is what percent of 2600 - 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 2600 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 2600, so we can write it down as 100%=2600.
4. We know, that x% equals 94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2600
2) x%=94
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%=2600/94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94 is what percent of 2600

100%/x%=2600/94
(100/x)*x=(2600/94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.659574468085*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.659574468085) to get x
100/27.659574468085=x
3.6153846153846=x
x=3.6153846153846

now we have:
94 is 3.6153846153846% of 2600
