94 is what percent of 548 - 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 548 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 548, so we can write it down as 100%=548.
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%=548
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%=548/94
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 548

100%/x%=548/94
(100/x)*x=(548/94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8297872340426*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8297872340426) to get x
100/5.8297872340426=x
17.153284671533=x
x=17.153284671533

now we have:
94 is 17.153284671533% of 548
