Question

What percent of 9 is 8.46

Answer 1

Answer:94%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 9 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 9, so we can write it down as 100%=9.

4. We know, that x% equals 8.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.46.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=9

2) x%=8.46

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%=9/8.46

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.46 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/8.46

(100/x)*x=(9/8.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.063829787234*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.063829787234) to get x

100/1.063829787234=x

94=x

x=94

now we have:

8.46 is 94% of 9
