94.6 is what percent of 357 - 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 357 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 357, so we can write it down as 100%=357.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=357
2) x%=94.6
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%=357/94.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.6 is what percent of 357

100%/x%=357/94.6
(100/x)*x=(357/94.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7737843551797*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7737843551797) to get x
100/3.7737843551797=x
26.498599439776=x
x=26.498599439776

now we have:
94.6 is 26.498599439776% of 357
