1996.21 is what percent of 8650.27 - 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 8650.27 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 8650.27, so we can write it down as 100%=8650.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 1996.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1996.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8650.27
2) x%=1996.21
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%=8650.27/1996.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1996.21 is what percent of 8650.27

100%/x%=8650.27/1996.21
(100/x)*x=(8650.27/1996.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3333466919813*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3333466919813) to get x
100/4.3333466919813=x
23.076851936414=x
x=23.076851936414

now we have:
