94 is what percent of 5266 - 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 5266 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 5266, so we can write it down as 100%=5266.
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%=5266
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%=5266/94
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 5266

100%/x%=5266/94
(100/x)*x=(5266/94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.021276595745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.021276595745) to get x
100/56.021276595745=x
1.7850360805165=x
x=1.7850360805165

now we have:
94 is 1.7850360805165% of 5266
