21 is what percent of 9568 - 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 9568 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 9568, so we can write it down as 100%=9568.
4. We know, that x% equals 21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9568
2) x%=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%=9568/21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21 is what percent of 9568

100%/x%=9568/21
(100/x)*x=(9568/21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=455.61904761905*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (455.61904761905) to get x
100/455.61904761905=x
0.21948160535117=x
x=0.21948160535117

now we have:
21 is 0.21948160535117% of 9568
