Can someone explain to me how you get this answer? 93 is what percent of 186?

you divide 93/186 which equals 50%.

1. We assume, that the number 186 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 186, so we can write it down as 100%=186.

4. We know, that x% equals 93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=93.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=186

2) x%=93

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%=186/93

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

7. Solution for 93 is what percent of 186

100%/x%=186/93

(100/x) * x = (186/93) * x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=2*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (2) to get x

100/2=x

50=x

x=50

now we have:

93 is 50% of 186
