21.9 is what percent of 9750 - 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 9750 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 9750, so we can write it down as 100%=9750.
4. We know, that x% equals 21.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9750
2) x%=21.9
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%=9750/21.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21.9 is what percent of 9750

100%/x%=9750/21.9
(100/x)*x=(9750/21.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=445.20547945205*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (445.20547945205) to get x
100/445.20547945205=x
0.22461538461538=x
x=0.22461538461538

now we have:
21.9 is 0.22461538461538% of 9750
