94 is what percent of 3624 - 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 3624 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 3624, so we can write it down as 100%=3624.
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%=3624
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%=3624/94
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 3624

100%/x%=3624/94
(100/x)*x=(3624/94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=38.553191489362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (38.553191489362) to get x
100/38.553191489362=x
2.5938189845475=x
x=2.5938189845475

now we have:
94 is 2.5938189845475% of 3624
