9.47 is what percent of 379.38 - 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 379.38 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 379.38, so we can write it down as 100%=379.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=379.38
2) x%=9.47
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%=379.38/9.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.47 is what percent of 379.38

100%/x%=379.38/9.47
(100/x)*x=(379.38/9.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.061246040127*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.061246040127) to get x
100/40.061246040127=x
2.4961779745901=x
x=2.4961779745901

now we have:
9.47 is 2.4961779745901% of 379.38
