94.23 is what percent of 593.9 - 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 593.9 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 593.9, so we can write it down as 100%=593.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=593.9
2) x%=94.23
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%=593.9/94.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.23 is what percent of 593.9

100%/x%=593.9/94.23
(100/x)*x=(593.9/94.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.3026636952138*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3026636952138) to get x
100/6.3026636952138=x
15.866307459168=x
x=15.866307459168

now we have:
94.23 is 15.866307459168% of 593.9
