94 is what percent of 916 - 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 916 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 916, so we can write it down as 100%=916.
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%=916
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%=916/94
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 916

100%/x%=916/94
(100/x)*x=(916/94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.7446808510638*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.7446808510638) to get x
100/9.7446808510638=x
10.262008733624=x
x=10.262008733624

now we have:
94 is 10.262008733624% of 916
