94.4 is what percent of 389.4 - 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 389.4 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 389.4, so we can write it down as 100%=389.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=389.4
2) x%=94.4
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%=389.4/94.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.4 is what percent of 389.4

100%/x%=389.4/94.4
(100/x)*x=(389.4/94.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.125) to get x
100/4.125=x
24.242424242424=x
x=24.242424242424

now we have:
94.4 is 24.242424242424% of 389.4
