9692.4 is what percent of 40960 - 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 40960 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 40960, so we can write it down as 100%=40960.
4. We know, that x% equals 9692.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9692.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=40960
2) x%=9692.4
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%=40960/9692.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9692.4 is what percent of 40960

100%/x%=40960/9692.4
(100/x)*x=(40960/9692.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2259914984937*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2259914984937) to get x
100/4.2259914984937=x
23.6630859375=x
x=23.6630859375

now we have:
