94 is what percent of 7540 - 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 7540 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 7540, so we can write it down as 100%=7540.
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%=7540
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%=7540/94
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 7540

100%/x%=7540/94
(100/x)*x=(7540/94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=80.212765957447*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80.212765957447) to get x
100/80.212765957447=x
1.2466843501326=x
x=1.2466843501326

now we have:
94 is 1.2466843501326% of 7540
