94 is what percent of 388 - 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 388 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 388, so we can write it down as 100%=388.
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%=388
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%=388/94
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 388

100%/x%=388/94
(100/x)*x=(388/94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1276595744681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1276595744681) to get x
100/4.1276595744681=x
24.226804123711=x
x=24.226804123711

now we have:
94 is 24.226804123711% of 388
