94 is what percent of 427 - 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 427 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 427, so we can write it down as 100%=427.
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%=427
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%=427/94
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 427

100%/x%=427/94
(100/x)*x=(427/94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5425531914894*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5425531914894) to get x
100/4.5425531914894=x
22.014051522248=x
x=22.014051522248

now we have:
94 is 22.014051522248% of 427
