1672 is what percent of 9 - 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 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 1672 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1672.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9
2) x%=1672
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%=9/1672
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1672 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/1672
(100/x)*x=(9/1672)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0053827751196172*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0053827751196172) to get x
100/0.0053827751196172=x
18577.777777778=x
x=18577.777777778

now we have:
1672 is 18577.777777778% of 9
