1482.53 is what percent of 8985 - 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 8985 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 8985, so we can write it down as 100%=8985.
4. We know, that x% equals 1482.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1482.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8985
2) x%=1482.53
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%=8985/1482.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1482.53 is what percent of 8985

100%/x%=8985/1482.53
(100/x)*x=(8985/1482.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.0605856205271*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0605856205271) to get x
100/6.0605856205271=x
16.500055648303=x
x=16.500055648303

now we have:
