1.43 is what percent of 8570.5 - 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 8570.5 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 8570.5, so we can write it down as 100%=8570.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8570.5
2) x%=1.43
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%=8570.5/1.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.43 is what percent of 8570.5

100%/x%=8570.5/1.43
(100/x)*x=(8570.5/1.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5993.3566433566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5993.3566433566) to get x
100/5993.3566433566=x
0.016685140890263=x
x=0.016685140890263

now we have:
1.43 is 0.016685140890263% of 8570.5
