1.34 is what percent of 15.94 - 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 15.94 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 15.94, so we can write it down as 100%=15.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.94
2) x%=1.34
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%=15.94/1.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.34 is what percent of 15.94

100%/x%=15.94/1.34
(100/x)*x=(15.94/1.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.89552238806*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.89552238806) to get x
100/11.89552238806=x
8.4065244667503=x
x=8.4065244667503

now we have:
1.34 is 8.4065244667503% of 15.94
